Chapter 56: The Worried Queen Mother
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the palace is lonely.
The birds and birds of the white flowers, along the battlements of the palace wall, jumped forward one by one, and when they met someone, they stopped and tilted their heads to look, and their eyes were full of words - so boring~
The Night Terror Hall was dressed in a black brocade robe, walking on the city wall with a knife on his waist, and before he knew it, he had already walked around the imperial city, and he had met with the injured and other general catchers.
The buildings inside the palace are surrounded by flowers and trees, and it is difficult to see the scene between the houses, but the sound can be heard in the dead of night.
Walking along the imperial city, you can confirm that the buildings against the city wall are inhabited by palace maids and eunuchs who do odd jobs, and the south city wall in front of the imperial city is more crowded, while the north city wall on the back is sparsely populated.
In the northwest corner of the imperial city, there is a large garden, which should be the imperial garden, and there are some lights in the palace nearby.
The Night Terror Hall turned around for most of the day, and felt that there was no risk, so he made a sense that something was wrong, and fluttered over the palace wall and fell near the Fushou Palace.
Behind the wall is the laundry room, and you can see that there are many clothes hanging on them, all of them women's, and some of them are quite gorgeous, and the sound of breathing can be heard between the rooms.
The Night Terror Hall walked through the building, making a patrol appearance, looking left and right in a big way to see if there was a dark sentry in the place.
After walking for a while, the scenery gradually became elegant, and a rather gorgeous hall appeared in front of it, and the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree with wood in the forest was in the courtyard behind the main hall.
There are many palace maids living in the buildings, and most of them have already slept.
Seeing that there were many people in the palace here, the Night Terror Hall couldn't help but feel worried, so it was not good to sneak in rashly, so they observed the situation of the palace on the periphery first.
From the top of the verandah, you can see that the hall is lit up, the window on the left is open, the window is filled with flowers and trees, and inside the window is a tea couch.
There is a candle lamp on the tea couch, and there is a noble lady in a crimson home dress, sitting dignified and elegant, holding a paintbrush, drawing on paper.
Next to him was a palace maid with a good appearance, looking at it.
Night Terror Hall looked carefully, and it could be seen that the lady's figure was quite graceful, and the kneeling posture showed the full buttocks to the fullest, and the placket was also quite eye-catching.
As for the face, the charm is soft and charming, and the age cannot be seen, the eyebrows are born with nobility, a pair of apricot eyes are very large, shining in the candlelight, like two stars under the night sky.
Although the noble lady has an extraordinary appearance and temperament, she belongs to a cart that can make the young man squirt three liters of blood by biting her lip.
But the Night Terror Hall was not a flower thief on this trip, and his mind was full of "Singing Dragon Pictures", and he did not pay attention to these advantages, but just observed the clothes, and wanted to see what the identity of this mysterious lady was, what she was doing, and whether there was a chance to go through the main hall to the back garden.
The glamorous lady is obviously drawing, and as for the content of the painting......
Night Terror squinted and looked at it, and it could be seen that it was a portrait, judging by the level of his painting:
It's really good, it's quite like a person......
Why do you draw a big bag on your shoulder?
Understood, shoulder the sun and the moon! The idea is truly extraordinary......
Why cut half of the side?
Oh...... It turned out that the painting was crooked......
Can't you make up some flowers and plants as decorations......
Night Terror looked at it strangely, and before he could understand it, a voice sounded not far away:
"Childe, you're in the wrong place."
In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged woman walked out from the back of the flower bed, with an ordinary appearance, dressed as a palace maid, with an official knife hanging behind her waist and a secret guard waist card.
The night terror hall was patrolling in the open, and when he saw this, he naturally did not panic, and walked out of the shadows at the moment.
-----
In the hall, the Queen Mother, who was holding a knife to cut paper, heard the sound and looked out the window:
"Yang Lan, what's wrong?"
When he turned his head, he found a figure in the verandah under the moonlight.
The Queen Mother looked carefully, and it could be seen that the figure was a man, dressed in a black brocade robe, with a dark guard sign hanging from his waist, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a cold temperament, and a serious bow:
"In the next night horror hall, I was ordered by King Jing to inspect the palace city, and I entered the palace for the first time, and I was not familiar with the terrain......"
Night Terrors?!
When the Queen Mother heard this name, her face was first surprised, and then she was stunned!
I looked down at the 'lifelike' portrait of a beautiful man......
OMG!
The Queen Mother secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly lifted the portrait and hid it behind her waist.
Hongyu next to her, seeing this, nodded secretly - the Queen Mother reacted very quickly, knowing that this kind of ghost painting talisman can't be seen as a joke by outsiders......
Dark guard Yang Lan's face was serious, he looked at the Night Terror Hall, and asked:
"Hei Ya entered the palace to assist in defense, when the two of them were together, why were you alone?"
Night Terror Hall responded calmly: "I am not the chief arrest of the black government, I relieved the siege of King Jing yesterday, and I was temporarily called to inspect the palace city, and I did not arrange companions." ”
Yang Lan still wanted to ask, but the Queen Mother behind her had already spoken:
"This palace knows him, Yang Lan, you can step aside."
Seeing this, Yang Lan stopped talking and turned around and saluted:
"No. It was getting late, and the Queen Mother went to bed early. ”
As he spoke, he disappeared into the garden.
Dowager......
When Night Terror Hall heard this title, he was slightly shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect that this young lady with a beautiful face and moon appearance turned out to be the 'queen mother' of King Jing and the empress.
No wonder you live in such a big palace, and there are masters around you to protect you at all times, so it is almost impossible to go to the back of the palace to dig "Minglong Tu......
The Night Terror Hall stood silently in the verandah, and bowed:
"See the Queen Mother, I just arrived in the next place, I am not familiar with the terrain, I broke in rashly, and I ask the Queen Mother to forgive me."
The Queen Mother was sitting upright on the couch, looking very dignified, but she was panicked to death in her heart, after all, she was imitating King Jing's beautiful picture just now.
If the night terror hall saw it, the Empress Dowager painted his portrait here at night......
Doesn't she have to be regarded as a lustful queen mother who is dissatisfied with her desires and unbearable?
The Queen Mother coughed lightly and put on a dignified and serious appearance:
"Night Terror, what did you just see?"
See you draw......
The drawing is okay, but I don't understand it......
Night Terror Hall has no calligraphy and painting attainments, no blind compliments, and responds:
"There is nothing unusual in the palace, I was patrolling the surroundings, and as soon as I walked here, I was stopped by a woman, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me for the offense."
The Queen Mother saw that the night terror hall did not show a strange face, and her heart was a little calm, but she was still not at ease.
Because of the position where Night Terror Hall was standing, she could see exactly what she was drawing just now.
The Queen Mother couldn't ask about this, so she said solemnly:
"This palace has a special identity, you have the courage to break in tonight, no matter what you see, it is best to keep your mouth shut. If there is rumors outside, this palace will not spare you. ”
Night Terror Hall bowed sincerely: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, she has never been here." ”
The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly: "Stand down, if you patrol here in the future, greet the palace maid in advance, and don't come in recklessly." ”
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Night Terror hurriedly ran away.
The Queen Mother sat dignifiedly, and when she was completely quiet outside the main hall, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out the portrait from behind her waist and looked at it, feeling very embarrassed......
And the red jade behind him was still looking at the verandah:
"Queen Mother, this guard is the son who was in King Jing's carriage yesterday, right? He looks so handsome~"
"Jun what Jun is? Nymphomaniac ......"
The Queen Mother pondered it and unfolded the portrait to ask:
"Ruby, what do you think of this painting and the guard just now...... Uh-huh? ”
??
Hmmm, what?
Does it matter?
Hongyu was at a loss in her heart, but how could a palace maid who could serve by the Queen Mother's side be stupid?
She immediately looked surprised, and carefully looked at the scroll:
"It turns out that the Queen Mother painted this guard?! I just said how it looks familiar, and now when I look at it, it is like a god, look at this nose, look at this eyes, look at this mouth......"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she chuckled in her heart and said secretly: It's over!
She knows that Hongyu has an ingredient of sycophancy, but it is impossible to completely blow it blindly, at least one out of ten is true, right?
Although she felt that her painting skills were average, she could see a little resemblance to the red jade that she was stupid, and Night Terror Hall could naturally see who she was painting......
Who else can a man fight a fat bird on his shoulder......
Painting portraits of people at night and being seen by others, isn't this a shame......
The night terror hall has a lot to do with the divorce, in case in order to avoid suspicion, report this matter to the divorced person......
The Queen Mother secretly spies on her stepdaughter's sweetheart......
If this is spread out, how can she be the queen mother? With her detached nature, she will definitely not take her out of the palace in the future......
Do you want to stop beating the night terrors?
No, I told the night terror that if he came to the sentence - the queen mother, you don't want to paint my portrait, and be ...... by King Jing
……
Hongyu chattered and praised for a long time, and found that the Queen Mother was frowning in a daze, and raised her hand and shook it:
"The Queen Mother?"
"Oh, it's okay, you go and inquire where King Jing is tonight, and the palace will go around ......"
"Okay sissy......"
