Chapter 379: Sister Flowers
Luoyang Palace is located on the northernmost side of the Imperial Palace, separated from the main palace and the inner sleeping palace by the imperial garden, which is specially used to entertain royal dignitaries.
Under the guidance of the palace eunuch carrying the lantern, Qin Yun walked in the long corridor like a maze for nearly half an hour before finally coming to the Luoyang Palace.
Although it is only a small palace in a remote location, the decoration of Luoyang Palace is still extravagant, and the thousand-year-old empire has a powerful heritage that is incomparable to any wealthy family.
The room he was going to stay in had already been cleaned up, the living room was lit with incense, and the blubber lamp hanging on the wall gave a bright light, illuminating the room and giving people an indescribable warmth.
When Qin Yun entered the room, the two young palace maids fell to the ground and said in a coquettish voice: "Slave and maid Yuexin, Yuelan greet the adult, and respectfully ask the adult to command!"
Qin Yun was stunned, nodded and said, "You guys get up, don't be polite." ”
These two palace maids are no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and their looks are extremely good, and it is rare that they look exactly the same.
The eunuch standing next to him said with a sharp smile: "Lord Qin, Yuelan and Yuexin, the two slaves and maids were originally the people of Concubine Mei's mother's side, and they grew up with Niangniang in Concubine Mei's house since they were children, and both sisters are sixteen years old, and they are quite knowledgeable and courteous, so Niangniang gave them to the adults to serve her side, which is a great kindness!"
That Concubine Mei actually gave her maid to herself, and she also gave a pair of twin sisters who are like flowers and jade!
Qin Yun couldn't help but be taken aback in his heart.
But he's not an ordinary person after all. Shocked in his heart, but still silent on the surface, he nodded and said: "I also ask Gonggong Lin to thank Concubine Mei on my behalf, Qin Yuncheng is very grateful!"
It's not that Qin Yun really wants these two maids, but he understands very well that if he rejects Concubine Mei's reward, it will be tantamount to refuting the latter's face, and offending him for no reason is not the work of a wise man.
So he simply accepted it, and there are many ways to arrange these two people in the future.
While talking to the eunuch, Qin Yun quietly stuffed a piece of fire spirit jade over.
There were quite a few eunuchs in the palace, and these incomplete men had no direct power. But they surround the emperor's concubines, princesses and princesses every day, and many eunuchs are deeply trusted and speak with great weight, and outsiders dare not offend easily, and even deliberately make friends with them.
Qin Yun didn't need to befriend a eunuch, but there was no need to offend.
This Gonggong Lin who brought him to Luoyang Palace is obviously Concubine Mei's mother, and it is also appropriate to express his gratitude, and a mere piece of fire spirit jade is nothing to Qin Yun now.
Gonggong Lin accepted the fire spirit jade with a smile and said with a smile: "Lord Qin, don't worry, the old slave will definitely bring the words." ”
He turned his head to Yuelan and Yuexin and said, "You two sisters will serve Lord Qin well in the future." Lord Qin is young and promising, and it is your blessing to be able to follow him. It is a mother's reward, and it must not be forgotten!"
Yuelan and Yuexin bowed their heads and said in unison: "The slave understands!"
Gonggong Lin nodded with satisfaction, bowed slightly and saluted Qin Yun, "Then the old slave will retire first!"
Qin Yun clenched his fists and saluted back: "Father-in-law go slowly, Qin Yun won't send it!"
After Gonggong Lin left, Qin Yun smiled and said to the two girls: "You don't have to kneel anymore, get up!"
The two girls stood up from the ground, and one of them patted his chest with palpitations, looking like he was palpitating, but he was cute.
Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter, are you afraid of Gonggong Lin?"
The girl nodded immediately. But she immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly shook her head, her face flushed with anxiety.
Qin Yun smiled and asked, "Are you Yuexin or Yuelan?"
Seeing that Qin Yun spoke kindly and amiably, the girl felt a lot less panic in her heart, and said boldly: "The slave maid is my sister Yuexin, she is my sister Yuelan." ”
Although they had just met, Qin Yun could see that this sister was much more lively. The sister is quiet and shy, although the two look exactly the same, but if you look closely, there are characteristics that can distinguish the two sisters.
Qin Yun thought for a moment. said: "Concubine Mei gave you to me, but I want to go back to the Heavenly City Sword Sect to continue learning, if you want, I can send you back to your own home, and from now on you will become a free body." ”
Hearing his words, the two sisters looked at each other, and at the same time their pretty eyes were red and tears flowed.
Qin Yun was suddenly shocked, to be honest, he would rather face the sword and sword shadow of a strong enemy than see the girl's tears, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you want to?"
Yue Xin choked up and said, "My lord, don't you want us? We don't have our own home."
It turned out that these two sisters were sold to Concubine Mei's house when they were young, so they didn't know who their parents were or where their home was.
It was impossible for Qin Yun to send them back again, so it was better to refuse them directly just now.
Knowing the life history of the two sisters, Qin Yun felt a little more pity in his heart, and said, "Then would you like to go to the Heavenly City Sword Sect with me?" My master and senior sister are very good, they will never treat you badly!"
Anyway, Hancui Pavilion is very big, and it is not a problem to take in two more maids at all.
Sister Yuelan bowed her head and said, "We are adults now, and we are at the mercy of adults." ”
In fact, for the two sisters, it is already a great luck to be able to follow Qin Yun out of the palace, otherwise in this deep palace, their best fate is to follow Concubine Mei to die of old age, if Concubine Mei suddenly loses power one day, they will also be affected.
That's why Gonggong Lin said that giving them to Qin Yun was the grace of Concubine Mei.
Yue Xin wiped away the tears on her face, walked forward with a slightly red face and said, "My lord, it's late at night, the hot water in the bath is ready, I'll wait for you to change your clothes and take a bath!"
As she spoke, she moved to untie Qin Yun's clothes.
Qin Yun hurriedly said, "No, you guys go to rest early, just bathe yourself!"
Yuexin put down her hand and took a half step back, her mouth was deflated, and the tears she had just put away fell like pearls with broken threads.
Qin Yun really convinced her, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Okay, you just help me change my clothes, I'm really not used to being served by others in the bath, and don't call me an adult in the future." ”
Yuexin immediately regained her smile, she obviously saw that Qin Yun was a very good talker, and immediately stepped forward to help untie Qin Yun's clothes, and said in a chattering voice: "My lord, oh no, childe, I know you are a good person, but our sisters are used to serving people, if you don't let us do anything, we will be sad"
Qin Yun really smiled bitterly at her, but he really couldn't bear to punish her, in his feelings, Yue Xin was like his own sister, although a little naughty but really innocent.
Luoyang Palace has a special bath for bathing, the hot water is connected to the underground hot springs, the bath is wide enough to accommodate dozens of people to bathe, and dozens of whale oil candles are lit around, which looks very magnificent.
Under the service of the two young girls, Qin Yun took off his long shirt and pants, leaving only his close-fitting shorts, immersed himself in the hot water sprinkled with flower petals, and took a rather fragrant bath.
Sister Yuexin and Sister Yuelan wanted to go down to the pool to help Qin Yun scrub several times, but he refused.
It's not that Qin Yun pretends to be a righteous gentleman, but he is afraid that he won't be able to withstand the temptation, and once he indulges in women, it will be very detrimental to the cultivation of martial arts, and it will weaken his will.
After all, he is not a reckless man who does not understand the amorous feelings.
After bathing, the two sisters changed into new robes for Qin Yun and led him to the bedroom.
The bedroom of the palace was naturally luxurious to the extreme, although it was said that it could only be stayed for one night, it did not prevent Qin Yun from appreciating and enjoying this rare luxury, he ignored the hint of pleasure and pushed open the window.
Outside the window is a flower garden, the dark fragrance floats in the dark night, and the fireflies flutter in the wind, quiet and beautiful.
In the distance, there are towering palace walls and heavy buildings, but there is not much light to be seen, and the palaces and pavilions are submerged in darkness, like the shadow of a dormant giant beast, revealing a bit of gloom.
Qin Yun was a little curious, and couldn't help but ask, "Yuexin, do you know where and where it is?"
On the way to Luoyang Palace, he saw that the other palaces were brightly lit, not so dark and gloomy.
Yuexin looked at it, her face changed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Childe, there is a forbidden palace!"
Forbidden Palace!
Qin Yun never expected that it would be the location of the Forbidden Palace, and he didn't expect that he would live next to the Forbidden Palace!
He couldn't help but clench his fists.
Since he learned about his life experience, Qin Yun's greatest wish was to find his mother and save her from prison, and now that prison was in front of his eyes!
The palace wall not far away is not high, it is not a problem to climb over the past with his light skills, the opportunity is so rare, and it is also the arrangement of God, if you miss it this time, you may miss it forever.
There were countless thoughts in his mind, and the impulse in his heart was simply uncontrollable, and he was stupid to stand in front of the window.
Yuexin didn't notice Qin Yun's abnormality, and continued: "I heard that there are many concubines who have fallen out of favor and palace maids who have made mistakes, some people die there and no one knows, and there are also crazy people."
"Pleasant!" Sister Yuelan tugged at her sleeve and motioned for her not to talk nonsense.
Yuexin stuck out her little tongue and quickly covered her mouth.
Qin Yun exhaled a long breath, his gloomy eyes regained his composure, and said lightly: "You guys go and rest first, I'm going to practice, remember that you can't come in without my orders!"
