Chen Yuniang and Diao Chan walked into the palace behind under the leadership of the palace maid.

The monarch of the Khitan Kingdom was not as extravagant as the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he did not have many wives and concubines, so except for a few palace maids and men in charge of miscellaneous servants, no one else was seen in this harem.

Instead, in a corner there were a few tall horses in captivity, and a few simply decorated carriages were parked.

In the corner of the wall is planted a row of large trees, and some flowers and plants that have withered slightly.

The huge palace seemed empty and lonely.

"The two young ladies can rest for a while in this Linqing Palace, and if there is something, they can call the slave maid at any time." The maid took the two to a palace gate that was already a little old.

"Thank you, girl." Chen Yuniang's eyes roamed around, and finally landed on the palace in front of her.

It is said to be a palace, but it is actually similar to the residence of some officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no decoration in it, only a palace maid wearing a tight suit and pants stands on one side of the gate.

As soon as the two entered, the maid bent slightly.

"Slave Chen'er, is half the master of this Linqing Palace, since the two young ladies have come here to rest, they are the masters of the slave maid, please come with the slave maid."

This palace maid named Chen'er is short in stature, and her voice is also slender and tactful, but it is very different from the rough and atmospheric palace maid in front.

Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang glanced at each other.

"Thank you, Miss Chen'er, the two of us just sat down for a while, and when Lord Bao leaves, I will go back to the pavilion later." Chen Yuniang said.

"The slave knows." As Chen'er walked, she glanced back at the two of them and replied.

Through a narrow wooden door, a house with red paint on the door appeared, and the wooden window was open, and the furnishings inside were also very simple.

"Milk tea has been prepared, two young ladies please."

Chen'er stood at the door and made a "please" gesture.

The two entered the house.

Suddenly, as if he had seen something terrible, Diao Chan withdrew in exclamation.

It turned out that on a huge table, there was a small fox with a fiery red body, and a poisonous insect that was one meter long and the thickness of a thumb.

Chen Yuniang was also taken aback.

"Chen'er!"

Chen'er heard the cry and followed quickly.

After learning that the two of them were actually frightened by the things on the table, Chen'er suddenly couldn't help laughing.

She walked in first, stretched out a small hand and stroked the little fox's body first, and then picked up the poisonous snake and shook it vigorously.

Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang saw clearly that the little fox was not a living body, but a shell with a hollowed out body, which was stuffed with some cotton wool and weeds.

The viper, on the other hand, was just a whip made of thin cowhide straps.

Diao Chan put his mind at ease, walked over and touched the little fox's body with his hand like Chen'er.

The fur of the little fox is soft and warm, and it looks extremely cute.

Diao Chan inadvertently touched the suture under the little fox's abdomen, and subconsciously shook it.

Chen Yuniang quickly looked around the room and found that there were some animal bones hanging on the walls, including the huge wings of a black eagle.

"Don't be afraid, two sisters, this is just a custom here, the more animal bones are hung, the more it means that the owner of this family is strong and rich, and ordinary people will not have too much time to hunt." Chen'er explained. 33

"I just saw that your majesty is very weak, and I guess I won't go out often, could it be that these things are hunted by your Xiao Niangniang?" Diao Chan asked.

"yes." Chen'er nodded and said, "My mother is the best at riding and shooting, and every time she goes out, she brings back a lot of prey. ”

Diao Chan showed a very envious expression.

"I heard my general say last night that this Xiao Niangniang is quite manly, but it's a pity that I couldn't see it today." Diao Chan said.

Chen'er tilted her head to look at Diao Chan.

"This sister is very similar to my mother, but her body is slightly weaker. People here say that the Great Song Dynasty produces beautiful women, but they haven't gone back for a long time, and the slaves and maids have forgotten the many etiquettes of my southerners. Chen'er said.

Chen Yuniang and Diao Chan were both a little surprised.

"You, you are ......"

"I'm also from the Great Song Dynasty." Chen'er replied unabashedly, "I was robbed here when I was ten years old, and I was sent to the palace when I was thirteen years old, and I have been staying in this Linqing Palace. ”

Chen Yuniang observed Chen'er's expression and found that when she was talking, there was not the slightest pain on her face, on the contrary, when she talked about the back, there was still some smugness.

No wonder when she first came in, she said that she was half the master of the place.

"Is there anyone else here?"

"In addition to me, there are four older sisters." Chen'er replied, "They are all the same as slaves and maids, each of them guards in a palace, and we usually play together and are very idle." ”

"Y-You don't want to go back?" Diao Chan couldn't help but ask.

Chen'er suddenly smiled.

"The slaves and maids have been out for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to life here, and besides, the southerners are more restrained, and they are not as free as here. At the age of a slave maid, in the southerners, they should have already been married, and they stayed in a dark house all day long, and they had to be extra careful even when they went out, and they would be bullied by their in-laws. In comparison, the slave maid actually prefers this place. Several of our little sisters also think the same thing. ”

"I see." Chen Yuniang nodded.

She remembered the words of the little beggar just now, it seemed that in the eyes of the southerners, the so-called beauty of a woman was actually an invisible destruction for a woman.

No wonder the women of the Khitan Kingdom are as strong as men, and they are unscrupulous when they speak, and even this Xiao Niangniang is an out-and-out heroine.

"By the way, the milk tea has been prepared, I'll go and serve it to the two sisters." Chen'er seemed to suddenly remember something, and walked out quickly.

Chen Yuniang and Diao Chan sat down.

The chairs are covered with thick animal skins, as if they are being held by a large soft hand, which is very comfortable. However, the two of them did not forget the advice of Lord Bao when they came, and thought about how to get the truth out of Chen'er's mouth.

"Sister Chen'er, are you there?"

Suddenly, a girl's voice came in from outside, and then a palace maid who was about the same age as Chen'er walked in, and when she saw Diao Chan and Chen Yuniang in the room, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Chen'er just went out, and the girl has something to do here for a while." Chen Yuniang said.

The palace maid seemed to wake up suddenly and hurriedly waved her hand.

"Don't dare to disturb the guests." As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and retreated.

Chen Yuniang walked to the window, and just saw Chen'er walking in from outside with a tray in her hand, and almost collided with the palace maid who had just arrived.

"Where is my sister?" Chen'er asked.

The palace maid who had just arrived grabbed Chen'er's hand and said, "Sister, hurry up and prepare, the Eagle Princess will come back soon, and Your Majesty wants us to be careful." It is said that this eagle princess has a big temper. ”

"My sister knows." Chen'er also seems to be very jealous of this eagle princess.

Chen Yuniang in front of the window was taken aback.

Some people died, but not completely......
