Volume 1: Wise Men Chapter 23 (23)
"Over the years, I have been in the palace for five years, but I have only seen one side of the great witch. Great witches are really rare! β
"The imperial concubine is young and healthy, and there is no major problem."
Xingbi City is divided into 12 halls, each hall is inhabited by a deacon witch, surrounded by ten halls, the north hall in the middle is the Chen Palace, which is the place where the major halls and witches meet, and the south hall is the Sikong Wuxian Palace.
At this moment, the imperial concubine Ye Jiu's Phantom Shan knelt on the ground, and in front of the hall was the deacon Li Dawu.
Dawu wears a high feather hat on his head, and the brim of the hat is inserted with various totem feathers symbolizing the ancestors of the thirteen tribes and twenty-six tribes, and he is wearing a black inlaid picture dress, and the cuffs and neckline of the Xuanfu are tattooed with square totems.
"Then why don't I have an heir?" The imperial concubine said slowly.
Da Wu didn't squint, and replied unhurriedly: "Yes, why doesn't the imperial concubine have an heir?" β
"I asked the Great Witch, not the Great Witch asked me." The imperial concubine said arrogantly.
"The imperial concubine asked Ben Wu, and Ben Wu asked the imperial concubine, the answer is the same." The Great Witch still sat upright, indifferent to the arrogance of the imperial concubine, "The answer that the imperial concubine wants is the answer." β
"In this way, the Great Witch knows what the answer this imperial concubine wants?" Imperial Concubine Ye Jiu narrowed her eyes.
"If not, where did the princess come from?"
"This imperial concubine, like the concubines of the Changyuan Purple Palace, doesn't she come to this Star Wall City every month?" Ye Jiu Huanshan said with a sneer.
"People's hearts are ever-changing, and each has its own needs!" The Great Witch was unmoved.
"I don't know if the Great Witch can ask for something in this Tianyu Mountain?"
"Pray for the blessings of the people and pray for the gods of the country."
"Oh." The imperial concubine nodded convincingly, "Or, why don't the great witches pray for the women in front of the palace?" β
In the courtyard in front of the palace, Dai He, Dai Qin, and Dai Cui all bowed and stood, their hands on their chests, and their heads bowed. There was only one young woman, who seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old, delicate and curly, with a joyful face, wearing a beautiful five-color dress, with a curious face, looking east and west.
"Who is she?" Wu Shili asked indifferently.
"The daughter of my Jingnan Grand Priest, called Zihai Huan'er, her father is from the Jiu family, a commoner, and her mother is the Tang family, her father likes her very much, and recognizes her as a righteous daughter, and at the same time promotes her parents' family to the golden family, so that she is qualified to marry. I like her very much, too. β
"Oh." The Great Witch seemed indifferent.
"I have not had an heir for a long time, and I plan to dedicate her to His Majesty's warm bed. If God is fortunate to have a man and half a woman, it also belongs to my Ye Jiu clan as a rule, and it is the glory of my Jingnan country. The princess said lightly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Warm the bed?!" The Great Witch opened his eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty has been cold since he was a child, and I don't know which great witch in Tianyu Mountain has performed this technique on His Majesty, and His Majesty likes it. Warm the bed with the maiden who has not opened the sunflower, and the girl's fresh sunflower water warms his feet for three days and three nights, and His Majesty's dragon feet are as warm and tender as a newborn baby. β
The Great Witch's face moved slightly: "It is the Great Witch's sunflower picking technique." β
The imperial concubine looked a little cheerful: "Oh? It seems that this method is very good. No wonder His Majesty has added heirs over the years. It's just that it is said that the woman who warmed the bed for His Majesty last time was weak, and when she was sent to the poor house, she was a fresh girl, and when she brought it home, she was as cold as iron, and there was not even a drop of blood. β
The Great Witch's face twitched again, still seemingly indifferent.
The princess continued, smiling, as if very interested in the matter: "Although this woman is not very beautiful, she is still in good health, and if she is lucky enough to get a man and a woman after warming the bed, the child will be raised by me, and I will ask Your Majesty to make her a bed warmer, until she returns to heaven." β
The Great Witch finally couldn't help but say: "She is only ten years old, and there are still two or three years before the sunflower opens, and forcibly opening the sunflower at this time will inevitably kill her!" β
"Not necessarily! Besides, she was tall, no different from a girl of twelve or thirteen. When the Great Witch suggested that His Majesty do this technique, he didn't say how old it was. The imperial concubine said nonchalantly, "I just said to Your Majesty, what's wrong with this Huan'er being thirteen years old?" As long as His Majesty is happy. β
"Your Majesty has already given birth to an imperial heir, and this witch will advise Your Majesty not to practice this spell again." Dawu said with a sneer.
The imperial concubine leaned her face closer to the big witch: "But it's too late." I have already given advice to Your Majesty. His Majesty was also pleased. Unlessβ"
Da Wu's face was angry: "Unless what? All the great witches of Starwall City are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court, and like the Lingtai Heavenly Master of Gozai City, they only serve the courtiers, do not change anyone's fate, and do not participate in any dynastic changes. Could it be that the imperial concubine can take my life? β
Seeing that Da Wu was angry, the imperial concubine looked at Huan'er in the courtyard who was looking up at the sky with a smile: "What is she looking for?" Alas, if my sister is still here, is her Princess Peidie also so old?
"There is no roster of Princess Peidie among the imperial heirs."
"yes, so I want to know why there's no roster for her? Why did she die? β
"Unauthorized access to the royal register is forbidden, and no one knows what is recorded in the royal register."
The princess didn't seem to hear what the Great Witch was saying, but just looked intently at the girl in the courtyard.
"Besides, five years ago, Ben Wu really can't remember it clearly."
The imperial concubine stretched out her hand to beckon, Huan'er in the courtyard jumped in, and the imperial concubine smiled and said, "Huan'er, please show you when you will bloom the sunflower?" β
Huan'er looked bright and shy, and looked up at Da Wu: "Da Wu, do you know my grandfather?" My father said that my grandfather was also in this Xingbi City, and he was the famous Ten Witches of the Great Hui Dynasty. The princess's sister promised to take me to him at a convenient time. β
The Great Witch looked at the girl in front of him and muttered, "I, I remember something-"
The imperial concubine smiled: "Great witch has a good memory." Huan'er go out, Sister Tomorrow will take you to see your grandfather, he loves you very much! β
Huan'er stood up and saluted the Great Witch.
