The appearance of hypocrisy in the palace

Next Chapter

The sound of bamboo is faint, smelling the flowers and falling incense, the world is big, where is home? but he was locked in a place of no return, and he did not return home.

The palace gate and city wall are red!

Wars broke out, flames, the Central Plains thirteen states - and the state, Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Shuofang, Liangzhou, divided into two, Yanguo, Yueguo.

Yue Guo was defeated by Yan Guo and occupied three states - Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou.

The states of Yan were guarded by princes, and the emperor of Yan was seated and annexed to the state.

At this time, in the capital of Yan State and Prefecture, the scorching sun was on the head, hundreds of people knelt at the gate of the side palace, white-clothed prison clothes, under the red wall, they looked extremely weak, look closely, all trembling bodies, sweating like rain, lips have long been bloodless, shackles on feet and hands, conspicuous blood marks on clothes, as if they had been severely punished, looking at it makes people afraid.

But at this time, a girl quietly appeared, wearing a lupine blue shirt skirt and carrying a small satchel, and walked by in jade steps.

Compared with the hundreds of people, it was a little out of place, and the girl looked at these people as if she was proud, and smiled haughtily at them.

And there is a sedan chair parked in front of the gate of the palace, as if waiting for a noble person to come.

The maid in front of the sedan chair saw the girl coming, and immediately stepped forward, saluted her first, then bowed her head and smiled, bowed and said: "The slave greets the lord of Li, the queen mother ordered the slave to wait for you here, please get on the sedan chair!" ”

Lord Li turned around and glanced down at the side, then walked directly onto the sedan chair, smiled, and said, "Let's go!" ”

The sedan chair walked through the palace gate avenue, layer by layer of palace walls, looking up, the boxy sky, like a shackle, locked countless people, as long as they entered, there was no way out.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the door of Chonghua Palace, and there was an old eunuch in the door, watching the county lord of Li walk down from the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "County lord, you can count it, the queen mother can look forward to you every day!" There is a bit of flattery in the words, but it is not false, the queen mother loves this county lord very much.

In the main hall, the light is dim, although it is noon, the sun outside the door is dazzling, but compared with this hall, it is less vibrant, looking at the high platform, the light curtain covers, an old man in a flower armor eats the pastries carefully, nods and praises.

A woman next to her, her posture is slightly lower, but she also shows that her status is noble, elegant and dignified.

The two chatted and laughed, but they were a little depressed.

Mu Lili changed her arrogance at the gate of the palace and jumped into the main hall, but she would never lose the rules, saluted respectfully, and got up.

"The courtier Mu Lili visits the Queen Mother, and meets the Queen Mother!" The voice is hearty, and when he laughs, a pair of peach blossom eyes, coupled with the conspicuous dimples on his cheeks, he is lively and well-behaved.

The queen mother looked at Mu Lili's arrival, very happy, a few days ago, His Majesty ordered to kill King Xun, but King Xun and His Majesty were both born to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was extremely angry about this, the Queen Mother, as the master of the Middle Palace, has persuaded the Queen Mother for many days, and did not see the Queen Mother's smile, and now the Queen Mother's favorite girl is back, so she let go of her heart and ordered the palace maid to put away the curtain.

smiled: "Queen Mother, look, Lili is back!" ”

"Oops! Lili, this girl is back. The Queen Mother looked at Mu Lili with a smile on her face, and pointed out with a smile: "You crazy girl, you are finally willing to come back to see me!" ”

"Queen Mother, why do you say I'm a crazy girl when you see me!" Lili muttered and said dissatisfied.

"Lili! Come on, let the Queen Mother and the palace take a good look at you, I haven't seen you for so many days, look, it seems to be a little thin! The queen waved at her and hurried to her side.

"Yes, Queen!" Mu Lili jumped up and down to the two, opened her eyes wide, smiled, and had a pair of dimples on her face.

"You girl, you follow your aunt to play outside the Saiwai, and it has been so long before you are willing to come back to see me." The Queen Mother rubbed Lili's hands, pouted dissatisfiedly, like a child.

"That's right! Liuxi has been talking about you every day for the past few days. The queen said.

"Am I not back?" Li Li tilted her head and shook the hands of the Queen Mother and the Empress.

"Princess Liuxi has arrived!"

Liuxi strolled forward, made a regular salute, and said in a gentle voice: "Liuxi, please the emperor's grandmother, please the queen mother!" ”

Although Liuxi is a princess, but frail and sickly, when he was young, he met Mu Lili, and then Mu Lili was raised by the queen mother's side for three years, and Lili was very friendly.

Seeing Lili's appearance, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he smiled: "Lili, you're finally back!"

As he spoke, he slowly walked to Mu Lili's side, wearing a blue skirt embroidered with lilies at the hem, grabbed Lili's arm, leaned his head slightly against her shoulder, and the tassels on her bun swayed shallowly.

Liuxi's small face is a faint pink, a pair of apricot eyes, and a leisurely smile.

It makes people look at it, obviously delicate and lovely, but also smart, and a little gentle and dignified, and she is coquettish to Lili, and asks anxiously: "Tell me, where are you going to play with Princess Huaiyang this time?" ”

"I followed my aunt to Loulan this time, all the way to the loess, the sky was full of dust and sand, alas! The fire umbrella was high, but it was too hot for me, but it was late at night, and it was cold again, as if it was about to freeze. Lili said vigorously.

Liuxi listened to this day, one will be cold, the other will be hot, and he hurriedly asked: "That body and bones can stand it!" ”

Mu Lili said proudly: "My body, you don't know it, how great it is to practice martial arts since childhood!" ”

"Oops! You girl, raised by my side when I was young, raised by a knowledgeable person, all these years, in the field outside the palace, the language is like a man! If I knew it, I wouldn't let you go out of the palace, and I would be by my side every day! The Queen Mother joked with her, her hands had already touched Mu Lili's face, and the fleshy baby was very fat, but compared with when she first came out of the palace, she lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were full of distress!

The three of them looked at Mu Lili with a smile on their faces.

"Lili, did you bring me any gifts from Loulan?" Liuxi looked expectant.

"Of course! I didn't bring you some good stuff from my trip! Mu Lili fumbled into her bag as she spoke, took out a hosta, and placed it in front of the three of them.

The queen said: "This hairpin is round and jade, crystal clear, but the patterns on it are rare." ”

Liuxi fixed his eyes and was surprised: "This is Loulan's hosta, the pattern is really chic!" ”

The queen smiled: "This kid has been fond of jade since he was a child, and the dormitory is full of all kinds of good jade!" ”

The Queen Mother was dissatisfied: "I brought it to Liuxi, didn't I bring anything to the mourning family and the queen?" ”

"How is it possible, Loulan is such a good jade, I brought it to you and the queen's mother, and I carefully selected it." Mu Lili said to the outside of the hall: "Quickly bring in the box I brought." ”

Several guards answered, and moved into a box, and when it was opened, it was full of jade of fine color.

The four of them chatted......

The palace maid on the side said: "Queen Mother, it's time." ”

Mu Lili glanced at the water clock, showing a little reluctance: "Then Lili will retreat." ”

The queen patted Lili's hand lightly, as if comforting: "Hurry up and get out of the palace, don't miss the hour." ”

Mu Lili bowed and walked out of the main hall.

The Queen Mother was helpless and sighed: "This girl! was still such a dignified child that year, but she suffered the loss of Jingzhou, her family was ruined, and she changed her personality, and over the years, she has become more and more like her sister! ”

The entrance to the palace.

"Yo, isn't this the Lord of Li? I've been out of town for so long, and I'm back! There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone, which was annoying to listen to.

Mu Lili glanced at it when she heard the sound, then sneered in a low voice, changed her face, and looked up lazily and asked, "It turned out to be Young Master Yu!" I haven't seen you for many days, but are you okay? ”

"What is there to be safe, Your Majesty just scolded me, accompany the king like a tiger, life is sad! It's like you, the county lord, you can go out of the city to play at any time, and I heard that there is also a head around you! It's such a pleasant day! It's really enviable! ”

Mu Lili smiled, full of indifference, and said bluntly: "It's not early, the palace gate is about to close, I'll leave the palace first!" ”

Mrs. Yu glanced at the sedan chair on the side, paused, and then smiled: "Oh! The hour is not early, the county lord, please! ”

Mu Lili got into the sedan chair, and both of them changed back to their original faces, Yu Taifu was a villain, and Mu Lili was there! The disgusted look was actually quite cute, and he was stunned for a while, and whispered in his mouth: "Companion is like a tiger......"

After returning to the county lord's mansion, he walked directly back to his room and said to his personal maid: "Mercy, stay outside the door." ”

There is a hill in the mansion where Mu Lili lives, and there are secret passages in the mountain, which connect many places, and Mu Lili's room has an entrance to a secret passage.

Mu Lili carried a candlelight, entered the secret passage, and walked into the depths......

In the palace, at Xiyan Palace, His Majesty sat in a purple robe on the side of the bookcase to review and read.

Kang Yuan took a cup of tea: "Your Majesty, the tea is here."

His Majesty's eyes were blue, he sighed, his brows were furrowed, he looked at the folds in his hand, shook his head helplessly, picked up the teacup, and drank it, thinking that the hard work of many days and time would disappear in this sip of tea!

This is Mu Lili hiding aside, shouting loudly directly: "Your Majesty Wan'an!" ”

Frightened, His Majesty almost sprayed a sip of good tea on the fold, Kang Yuan was frightened, and almost shouted "Help!" ”

His Majesty looked around, saw Mu Lili snickering from the screen, pointed at Mu Lili angrily, and said fiercely: "You crazy girl, what are you going to do!" A few days ago, I was too busy to look good, and I was called to Chonghua Palace every day, and I was trained by my mother, you! I also pointed out that you could help me, but what about you! Unexpectedly....... I actually ran out to play, I finally took a leisure, drink tea, you ...... You're crazy to me again! ”

Mu Lili listened to His Majesty's chatter, and immediately ran to His Majesty's side, patted his back, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, Your Majesty, Shun Qi, Shun Qi!" ”

His Majesty glared at this Mu Lili angrily, Mu Lili hurriedly turned his head, looked at Kang Yuan, and said extremely well-behaved: "Father-in-law Kang, are you okay?" ”

"If you go back to the county lord, the old slave is fine! Thank you for your concern. ”

"Why don't you ask me if there's anything!"

"Back to Your Majesty, after the visual inspection of the courtiers, you are not a big deal!" Mu Lili looked at His Majesty and said bluntly, with a smile on her face.

When His Majesty heard this, he was so anxious that he wanted to hit someone, so he picked up the fold and threw it on Mu Lili's head, Mu Lili quickly dodged and dodged everywhere.

"Oh, Your Majesty, the courtiers are here to help Your Majesty solve problems! Don't throw it away, watch out for the dragon body! Mu Lili hid in the east and west, and while talking, he picked up the folds on the ground and handed them to Kang Yuan.

"Oh, Your Majesty, now that everything else has been resolved, aren't you annoyed that you can't directly destroy King Xun? That Xun King rebelled, you intercepted him, and you could have killed him directly to set an example......"

"I just can't kill this bastard now!" Your Majesty slapped the table angrily!

"Can you listen to me!"

"You say!"

"Although the King of Xun rebelled, but he pretended to be in front of the people, the porridge shed, the opening of the school, and filial piety to the Queen Mother, so you want to kill King Xun now, the people are crying, the Queen Mother is sad, and they are all strongly opposed, so it is better to keep him first, not only to keep the hearts of the people, but also to be completely filial!" Mu Lili had a serious face and said meticulously.

"That bastard rebelled, rebelled! I've got to keep him! Alas! Are you here to help me? ”

"I have to keep him, but it is impossible to let him live unharmed, and I have to let King Xun live every day as if he was dead, but he was unscathed in front of the people and the Queen Mother!" Mu Lili knelt in front of the emperor and said seriously: Therefore, please give an order to your majesty to release King Xun from prison, lock King Xun in the mansion, and send Qi Mujun to guard it, and you can't come out without a decree! ”

His Majesty listened, the anger on his face faded a little, his body leaned back in the chair, and his head leaned back, Kang Yuan hurriedly pressed the acupoint on the emperor's head to relieve the emperor's fatigue in the past few days!

His Majesty pretended to close his eyes, looked at her quietly, and looked at Mu Lili's expression!

"Then according to what you said, how should King Xun be better off than dead?" His Majesty said slowly.

Mu Lili had a terrifying smile on her face, and the fierceness in her eyes became more and more terrifying, and she said: "The courtiers know a person, they know some witchcraft skills, and they don't hurt people with witchcraft on weekdays, but they hate King Xun in a hurry......"

His Majesty raised his eyes to look at Mu Lili's expression, and he knew what this girl wanted to do, as long as she didn't do too much!

"Then do it! I will make an order tomorrow to let King Xun return home! Remember, it's better to make him worse off than dead! ”
