Section 243 Discovery
The chamberlain is no longer flustered, and his speech is much clearer: "It's like this every time. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info moreover, Princess Wenyuan bathed very frequently, and the small ones had to prepare soup buckets every day. When I take a bath, I never let people serve me. ”
Yes, never let people serve on the sidelines. This is also the suspicious thing that the waiter just remembered and dared to say.
The reason why they didn't say it was because his brain was bad and he didn't think about it, but because he didn't think about things in this way at all. Strictly speaking, bathing for too long and not needing to be waited on by outsiders is actually not a suspicious thing. Personal preferences are different, many of the nobles in the palace like to soak in the hot pool, and many like to do it themselves, and they don't want to let the palace maids contaminate their bodies. Speaking of which, this is all too normal to be normal. If it weren't for the sake of saving his life, the chamberlain wouldn't have spoken out at this time.
Princess Wenyuan really has no secrets. No matter what she eats or wears, she is no different from ordinary people. At most, it is more frugal, far less extravagant and wasteful than other concubines. The rule of four dishes and one soup for each meal was learned by Xiaohe from Yang Tianhong. At first, Princess Xinxuan also thought that this was some kind of secret of Xiaohe. After many investigations, it was discovered that there was nothing at all.
As for bathing......
Princess Xinxuan couldn't help but think of it, and somehow remembered the ugly black birthmark on Xiaohe's head.
......
Lingxiu Palace has a special bath. During this time, the weather was hot, and although there was a supply of ice cubes every day, and there was also a special palace maid who was responsible for fanning the cooler, Xiaohe still felt that after sitting for a long time, his body would become sweaty. If you can't take a good shower, you will feel uncomfortable all day long.
The bath is very well ventilated, and soaking in the warm pool water will make you feel very comfortable. The air flowing overhead is fresh and refreshing. There is no suffocating stuffy tank feeling in a public bath. At this time, Xiaohe feels that she can relax wholeheartedly, and she doesn't have to worry about outsiders coveting her.
As her cultivation intensified, her hearing and perception skills became particularly acute. As long as no outsiders come over, it is Xiaohe himself who has the final say in Lingxiu Palace. When you take a bath, of course, you have to remove the camouflage birthmark on the top of your head. Before. Xiaohe has also encountered several cases where the palace maid did not obey the order and broke into the bath without permission. She was always able to quickly pick up the birthmark and camouflage it on her face a second before the other person came in. Although the details have changed slightly, he can also scold each other with his status as a princess and order them to quit immediately. He severely punished the palace maid who wanted to explore his secret at these moments, and something like that never happened again. The reason is very simple, before Xiaohe entered the bath, all the actions of untying his clothes were served by the palace maids, and no details could be hidden from their eyes. Let alone. The bath is also inspected in advance. How can a person who is stripped naked still have any secrets in that environment?
Looking at his tender and white arms soaked in water, a sweet smile welled up on Xiaohe's face.
When my father came over yesterday, he said that Yang Tianhong was about to enter Beijing. Emperor Shunming promised Yang Tianhong to hold a wedding ceremony after the autumn, and at the same time, he was also thinking about using Yang Tianhong's hand to completely solve the problem of the victims in the north. This is a good thing for Xiaohe. After looking forward to it for a whole year, it was finally time to get married. Even if it's a man and a woman who are in love with each other. When you really want to sleep in the same bed, you still become very shy.
Come to think of it. Xiaohe's beautiful face couldn't help but flush with two clusters of redness.
In the distance, hurried footsteps could be heard.
The difference between a monk and an ordinary person is that the former is keenly aware of the slightest disturbance. Xiao He is no exception, she now has the cultivation of the second level of Qi training. There are only a few palace maids in Lingxiu Palace, although the speed of the replacement of new and old personnel is more diligent. With Xiaohe's intelligence, he can also clearly distinguish the details of each person's walking.
The person who came was obviously not the palace maid or chamberlain of Lingxiu Palace. Moreover, there are a lot of them, and there are more than thirty footsteps in total. Among them, the man who is the leader. The rhythm of the footsteps Xiaohe is very familiar, it is his half-sister Princess Xinxuan.
He had already walked into the Lingxiu Palace, and he didn't even report it at all, and walked directly in the direction of the bath.
She must have sensed something, or knew something. That's why I chose this time to break in suddenly.
Xiaohe instinctively sat up from the bath, reached out and picked up the black camouflage birthmark placed aside, and subconsciously wanted to cover his face. Just thought about it, and slowly put the camouflage birthmark back in its place.
This camouflage birthmark is exquisitely made, the thickness and size are the same as the original, and no one can see it on the face. It's just that both camouflage and makeup take a lot of time. After each bath, Xiaohe has to carefully trim it in the mirror to make sure that there are no flaws before he can get out of the bath and call the palace maid to serve him and change his clothes. Even in the most rapid cases, it takes at least half an hour. Otherwise, if you just put a lid on your head, as long as you get close, anyone can see the clues.
Xiaohe is a princess, and if the palace maid comes close before she is ready, she has a way to punish these people. The bath is steamy, and it is difficult to see clearly. Therefore, even if the palace maid accepted Princess Xinxuan's order to spy on Xiaohe, no one noticed it in the face of this special environment and the pressure of status.
Princess Xinxuan is different. She's also a princess and can walk straight to the front. Even if you start to disguise it again, it's too late. What's more, the reason why she chose to break in at this time was already obvious.
Since you can't hide, you don't need to hide anymore. Anyway, she is destined to be Yang Tianhong's wife. The father has decreed that Yang Tianhong can enter Beijing in more than a month at most. On the day of the wedding ceremony, he also had to undisguise himself in front of everyone and become his wife with his true beauty. Although it is still a little early, all things have been decided and will never be changed, so even if it is seen by Princess Xinxuan, what's the big deal?
It was also a good thing to let his father know earlier that he had a beautiful daughter.
The panicked expression gradually receded from Xiaohe's face, and she became calm and calm, as if nothing had happened. The tense body relaxed again and slowly leaned against the edge of the bath. through steam and pool water. It is like a piece of pure jade that is thrilling and reminiscent.
Princess Xinxuan's movements are fast. She almost trotted into the bath. The curtains blocking the outside were torn open to both sides with a "bang", and dozens of palace maids surrounded her and came to the edge of the pool as fast as possible. In order to make it easier for Princess Xinxuan to see clearly, several palace maids who had been prepared for a long time even held a group fan in their hands, "hulala" and fanned the wind around hard. The steam above the pool water suddenly became chaotic, and at a distance of less than five meters, everyone clearly saw Xiao He's incomparably delicate face, which was cleaner than the finest white jade, and captivated the country and the city.
Princess Xinxuan's eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief. As if she had seen a ghost, she involuntarily took two steps back, and immediately ran over at a faster speed, squatting down on the marble platform next to Xiaohe desperately. Shocked and angry, he looked at the little lotus who was soaked in the water, his expression did not change in the slightest, and he was suffocatingly beautiful.
"You, you, who are you?"
Xiaohe slowly turned his head and glanced at Princess Xinxuan, who could barely speak, with a smile on her face that was enough to make all men excited, and the adrenaline secretion accelerated in an instant: "What." My sister hasn't been here for a few days, and she can't even recognize me as an older sister?"
Princess Xinxuan gritted her teeth fiercely. I even heard the sound of my own teeth being crushed. She struggled to look away from Xiaohe's delicate face and saw the black birthmark on the edge of the pool.
Her eyes released a stone-like coldness, and an incomparably bitter hatred: "You dare to deceive your father? The birthmark on your face is a fake at all." You, how long have you been lying to us?"
Xiaohe didn't like to take a bath in his **** body, but there were dozens of people watching from the side. Even though everyone is a woman, this kind of thing is still very embarrassing. She stood up. Walk up the marble steps, pick up the dry bathrobe that sits on the shelf next to it, and quickly put it on your body. This series of movements was flexible and fast, and even Princess Xinxuan, who was squatting in front of her, did not react for a while. Wait until Xiaohe brushed her damp hair and walked over with a lazy expression. That kind of thrilling beauty even the palace maids who have lived in the deep palace for a long time and are accustomed to seeing the beautiful looks of many concubines can't help but be suffocated, and then they have a shameful thought in their hearts that cannot be compared.
Xiaohe's voice was very beautiful: "My sister said this a little too much. This birthmark is innate, so why did I want to wear it on my body all the time? It's just that you and your mother-in-law like to see me wearing it, so I naturally want to make you happy. ”
Princess Xinxuan felt that the whole world was spinning in front of her, and it completely turned into a strange scene that she didn't know. She heard her voice become hoarse, as fierce as a man-eating demon: "You lied to us. No wonder Yang Tianhong takes a fancy to you and wants to marry you. This palace felt strange that there were still men who liked an ugly girl. You, you've been hiding from us so hard!"
Xiaohe's face was full of natural expressions: "I can't blame me." My sister seems to have forgotten that you and my aunt never asked me if the birthmark on my face was better. Actually, if you ask, of course I will tell you the truth. It's just that I've been with Uncle Changle for so long, and I've never heard your questions about this matter. Even when I entered the palace, my mother and sister never asked anything like that. I'm a lazy person, and if others don't mention it, I don't bother to explain it. It's also today, sister, that you bumped into by chance and opened the conversation. Otherwise, this black thing will have to be worn until the day of the wedding, and you can only take it off!"
This is clearly a mockery and irony. Xiaohe's attitude is very clear: Since you have seen it, then I will put things out of the way generously, and there is no need to continue to hide. Even if you know I'm beautiful, there's no way you're going to do anything harmful to me. Anyway, in a few months, I'm going to get married. As soon as the wedding ceremony is over, he will follow Yang Tianhong to leave the capital and go to Anzhou. At that time, even if Princess Xinxuan hates herself to the core, and Queen Zhang regrets it, it will still be useless.
Princess Xinxuan felt a lot of blood rushing into her brain. She couldn't wait to pounce and catch Xiaohe's delicate and beautiful face like the finest porcelain on the spot. She has done this kind of thing many times on other palace maids, and her moves are skillful, as long as her fingers clasp the other party's eyes, and her nails hook the eyelids and pull them down, no matter how strong the skin is, it will be cut open, and the blood will flow like an infusion.
Idea. Always controlled by desire. Princess Xinxuan couldn't help but stretch out her right hand, let out a beastly howl from the depths of her throat, and pounced desperately. She knew that she couldn't do anything about Xiaohe's sudden beauty. It is impossible for Yang Tianhong to marry himself. What's more, even if Emperor Shunming knew the truth of the matter, it would not do him any good. A father who has a beautiful daughter can only feel proud. Categorically will not be angry because his daughter is hiding the truth. What a person is born into is the will of God. If you want to hate, you can only resent God, why don't you **** have long eyes, but you want to gather all the good things on others, and don't leave me a star at all?
The trimmed nails were long, sharp and thin, and Xiao He suddenly reached out and quickly grabbed the hand that Princess Xinxuan probed high into her right cheek, and the gaze in her eyes suddenly became fierce and sharp. With a sudden force in his hand, he immediately twisted Princess Xinxuan's entire arm and flipped it over. The sharp pain extended up along the wrist, no matter the strength or skill, Princess Xinxuan was not Xiaohe's opponent at all. She opened her mouth, screaming, crying for help, and her body suddenly lost her balance, and she tumbled on her side and fell heavily into the bath. Splash a large splash.
When you fall into the water in an abnormal position, the first feeling is that the water is overwhelming. From the mouth, nose, throat, ears, all the holes poured into the body. Princess Xinxuan couldn't breathe, choked on several mouthfuls of water, waved her hands back and forth on the water, kicked her feet wildly, but couldn't stand up in the bath. Even though the water was only waist-deep at most, she still felt slippery underfoot. After a few stumbles in a row, a large splash of water was stirred, but he still fell on his back, and then he screamed and cried for help in embarrassment.
More than a dozen palace maids hurriedly jumped down and helped Princess Xinxuan up from the water. There are also guys who are more fast-moving. Already running outside, trying to drain the water in the pool. Suddenly, there was chaos in the bath, and the movement was so loud that even the guards outside were alarmed. The samurai in helmet and armor ran in with weapons in hand, just in time to bump into Xiao He, who had already dressed and left the bath and walked into the room outside. Although the contrast between the black birthmark before and after it fell off was too strong, the guards still remembered Princess Wenyuan's figure and face. At that moment, one by one couldn't help but be shocked, they retreated one after another, stood on both sides of the palace wall, and watched her slowly leave with extremely surprised and shocked eyes. Then, they exchanged their heads and voiced their doubts.
......
Diligent Palace.
"What are you talking about, the black birthmark on Princess Wenyuan's face has fallen off?"
When he heard the news from the mouth of Dongfang Kong, the head of the chamberlain, Emperor Shunming's first reaction was extreme shock, and then it turned into indescribable joy and joy.
"It's true, how dare the old slave have half a lie to deceive Your Majesty?"
Dongfang Kong's wrinkled face smiled at a brilliant chrysanthemum: "The news is still coming from Lingxiu Palace." The old slave didn't believe it at first, so he hurried over, and only then did he see the true appearance of Princess Wenyuan. Your Majesty, the princess is like the first queen, and she is a real beauty who captivates the country and the city. The old slave has lived for most of his life, and he boasts that he has seen too many beautiful beauties. But a woman with unparalleled looks like Princess Wenyuan, even if she is an old slave, can't help but give a thumbs up and praise it!"
Emperor Shunming was surprised and delighted, and at the same time, his brain also had a question: "Wen Yuan is really so beautiful? However, she was not like this when she entered the palace before? Could it be that she has been deceiving me before? Why is she acting like this now?"
Dongfang Kong is a shrewd man. He immediately realized that these problems of Emperor Shunming would lead the spearhead to Yang Tianhong. So, Dongfang Kong walked up to Emperor Shunming, smiled, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, about Princess Wenyuan, it is actually Your Majesty's family matter. Among them, the old slave believes that the prince of Changle knows best. Instead of His Majesty speculating here, it is better to call the prince of Changle directly into the palace and find out as soon as he asks. ”
Emperor Shunming nodded thoughtfully: "It's okay!" King Xuan Changle entered the palace to discuss matters. In addition, Lingxiu Palace has sent additional personnel to escort me, and I will go over later. Dinner is right over there!"
Xiang Guang, the king of Changle, entered the palace very quickly, and in less than an hour, the person had already entered the Qinzheng Hall and sat in front of Emperor Shunming.
In all fairness, Emperor Shunming actually didn't like Xiang Guang very much. He is his cousin, and he is also the closest royal family to the previous emperor in his generation. Xiang Guang once fought openly and secretly with Emperor Shunming over the succession to the throne. At that time, the relationship between the two was like fire and water, and it could even be described as a life and death enemy. At that time, Xiang Guang's voice inside and outside the court was higher than that of Emperor Shunming, and many important ministers of the court also expressed their support for Xiang Guang's accession to the throne. However, Xiang Guang's wife, Princess Changle, died suddenly at this time. Xiang Guang is a person who is very affectionate, and when he was disheartened, he took the initiative to give up his inheritance. This caused a great sensation at the time, and people even speculated whether the death of Princess Changle could be secretly carried out by Emperor Shunming. It's just that speculation is just speculation after all, and everything disappears with Xiang Guang's withdrawal from the competition. (To be continued.) )
