36. Queen
Early...
Before the sky cleared, the gate of the Moon Shadow Palace was pushed open, and the cold wind swept in the silver dust from the outside.
Frost painting, Hanqin and the two palace maids walked in quickly, and they were ready to serve His Royal Highness and dress.
Although His Highness is still asleep, His Highness took care of it yesterday, and today he will come here half an hour after the rooster crows...
Hanqin walked to the wooden table with a plate of steaming breakfast.
Frost Painting grabbed his clothes and shouted respectfully outside the screen: "Your Highness." ”
As soon as she finished shouting, her eyes moved, and then they suddenly contracted.
"Ah~~~~"
Frost Painting let out a sudden scream.
Xia Yan's eyes immediately opened when he heard the sound, and he quickly turned over and got out of bed, quickly bypassing the screen.
But I saw that the palace maid was sitting on the ground in fright, and in front of her, there was a white-armored centipede about the length of a palm.
The centipede's mouthparts were moving rapidly, making a strange sound, and after seeing Xia Yan, it seemed to have finally found its target, crawling on a hundred feet, and running towards Xia Yan quickly, looking a little excited, as if it had finally met its sweetheart after a long time.
Syllable!!
Xia Yan stepped on the centipede with one foot, looked at the frost painting and said, "It's okay." ”
"Snow centipede... It's a snow centipede..."Frost Painting palpitated, and said in a trembling voice, "This insect is very poisonous, it... It... How could it appear in His Highness's Palace. ”
After speaking, she realized her rudeness, hurriedly got up, and said, "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins..."
Seeing her frightened look, Xia Yan knew that this palace maid would never be able to cross the boundary of "restraint", even if he confessed, it was impossible.
And at this moment, the gate of the Moon Shadow Palace was suddenly pushed open, and a white shadow carrying the wind and snow, like a white snake full of spirituality, shot in, and fell in front of Xia Yan in an instant.
The person who came was Bai Suli.
"Lift your feet!!"
The girl said hurriedly, and at the same time, her right hand moved, the scimitar was already out of its sheath, and it cut the bottom of Xia Yan's boots with great precision, while the five fingers of her left hand were spread out, pressed against his chest, and pushed forward.
Xia Yan didn't resist, he landed on the bed lightly and skillfully.
The soles of his boots were left on the ground, and there was a centipede-shaped corrosion mark on them.
Bai Suli said: "The snow centipede is highly poisonous, and after stepping on it, its blood is corroded, Your Highness... If you encounter a poisonous insect you don't know, please be careful!
Tomorrow is the winter hunt, and His Royal Highness also asks to recuperate, burn incense and bathe.
At that time, neither Niangniang nor I will be able to accompany His Highness, but the eldest lady of the Dream Family will accompany His Highness. ”
"Meng Yuanqing?"
"Yes."
"Got it..."Xia Yan responded briefly, although he was very wary of the "coincidence" girl who gave birth to the "little fish face", but since it was the queen's arrangement, it should still be reliable.
...
...
At this point...
Jiaofang Palace.
The girl was dressed in an ink-scented scholar's clothes, holding a scroll in her hand, sitting at a table under the window, looking in the mirror.
On one side of her head, she saw her own pure eyes, like the sun, like a stream, like the sky.
As soon as he pursed his lips, two shallow dimples appeared, like elves coming out of an ink painting.
She turned her face slightly, as if admiring the look.
A voice came from outside the door.
"Niangniang, the white girl asks to see you."
The girl said coldly: "See." ”
The door was pushed open, and Bai Suli walked in, looking at the strange girl sitting at the table, some curiosity flashed in her eyes, but it showed some vague gloom.
The girl smiled: "When Bengong saw the appearance of his sweetheart, it was rare that he was interested in teasing this little waste, which is also interesting." ”
But immediately, the girl stood up again, grabbed the scroll and turned around in place, and then asked, "Xiaobai, have you seen this woman?" ”
Bai Suli shook her head.
The girl said: "But this is the appearance of his sweetheart." Could it be the little hoof in the Elysium Palace, which one accompanied him on the couch? ”
Bai Suli said: "Niangniang, I have seen all the women he has been to... There is absolutely no such one. ”
"Could that be a female bachelor from the college?"
"Your Highness never goes to the academy..."
"Oh?"
The girl sat down with a smile on her cheeks, raised her snow-white chin, held the scroll in her left hand, and crawled lightly on the table with the tips of her right fingers, like a poisonous spider's foot.
In an instant, pure, bewitching, cold, high, and many contradictory temperaments suddenly appeared on the same person, if such a picture appeared on the screen of Blue Star, it might directly become a screen-licking picture, and it would also become the most classic and long-lasting scene in movie textbooks.
"Interesting, Bengong thought that the little waste sweetheart should be the appearance of Bengong, but I didn't expect it to be such a pure and clean little girl...... If it weren't for this accident, this palace would not have given birth to this interest. ”
The girl who spoke was the eldest lady of the Northern Dreamer - Meng Yuanqing.
In fact, the queen is also a dreamer of the North.
According to the seniority, the queen is actually Meng Yuanqing's aunt.
It's just that the two never appear on the same occasion on weekdays, and Meng Yuanqing lives in a simple place, covering the veil on weekdays, until the appearance is determined, it is not removed.
...
...
Next...
Carriage...
"This time for the winter hunt, His Highness just has to play, after all, this is the stage for His Highness.
And Yuan Qing is good at runes, and he can secretly help His Highness. ”
Warm up in the car.
The old man who "changed the vest" was holding the notebook and watching it intently.
And she looked at the teenager opposite from time to time.
The wheel hub grinded the stone slabs in the Yujing City and went out of the east of the city in the wind and snow.
Moments later...
The queen looked at Xia Yan with those good-looking eyes and asked, "After returning to Beijing, why didn't His Royal Highness come to find Yuanqing?" ”
Xia Yan said lightly: "In recent days, I have encountered an assassination, and I have been frightened, and it is inconvenient to see people. ”
Empress:......
"Then why is it convenient for His Highness today?"
"Niangniang let me follow you, then you must be amazing, sit close to you, I can rest assured."
After speaking, Xia Yan directly lay down comfortably, his head fell back, and he looked like he didn't want to continue talking with this woman at all.
To be honest, although he doesn't like Lao Bangzi, he is more wary of this "coincidence" woman with a perfect-level "little fish" face.
Even if he could choose between the two, he would even be willing to choose the former.
This world is treacherous and mysterious, and if he is not careful, he will have an accident, and now he just wants to finish the winter hunt quickly and then return.
When the queen saw him lying down, she snorted coldly in her heart, and said secretly: It is better to come to the palace in person, and it will save this little waste from having no rules.
...
At nightfall, the group arrived at Yunlu Mountain.
Yunlu Mountain has already had a forbidden army arrived in advance, one is to eliminate the danger, the second is to enter the mountain in advance to fortify, and the third is to inform the ancient temple on the mountain, so that a good Zen room can be prepared for people with noble status to live.
Under the leadership of Xiao Shami, Xia Yan and others stayed in the Zen monastery.
Three watches...
He sat up on time, and even when he came to this ancient temple, he did not give up the habit of cultivation.
And there is a water tank behind the meditation room, which also saves him the problem of being difficult to return.
After a while, he traveled to a cold pool in Yunlu Mountain and began to test the quality of the soil.
After two bites, his eyes lit up.
Yes, the mud of this barren mountain, although it is not as good as the mud in the gray fog, is better than the lake mud of the palace.
So, while eating mud, he practiced.
However, the progress of True Qi is still slowly crawling.
Minutes and seconds passed...
Suddenly, Xia Yan felt that something was wrong, and he surfaced slightly and looked around.
Ooh! There was a circle of green light around this cold pool, and if you looked closely, these green lights were all weird little insects, they gathered here, exuding a dizzying strong toxin around them, and the old trees nearby began to dry up rapidly.
Barren mountains, especially such ancient mountains, are no better than imperial palaces.
In the royal palace, poison thinks people...... It can only attract one snow centipede.
But in this kind of ancient mountain, especially in the barren mountains and mountains, the poison that can be attracted is much more terrifying.
