Chapter 023: Heart-Pulling Grass

Xiao Yi followed the habit of many years, and early in the morning, he got up and went to the courtyard to practice, knowing that Uncle Qin was Xiao Ling's person, so Xiao Yi did not practice swords, but played a set of boxing techniques that could not see the number of ways, and the appearance was scattered, and no clues were revealed.

Rao is Qingchen didn't rest for long last night, but after Xiao Yi got up, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

This is a habit she has developed over the years, when she slept with Xiao Ling, she was always troubled by all kinds of mundane things, Xiao Ling was the master, and the commander of the army, she had to be busy every day, and it was common to get up early and rest late.

And she is the same as Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling doesn't come back, she doesn't sleep, but goes out in the middle of the night to cultivate more and more powerful forces, and the Star Picking Tower was established during that time. And every time in the morning, Xiao Ling got up, and she got up with her, never sleeping at all.

Now that I think about it, these habits developed because of Xiao Ling have had such a great impact on her unconsciously.

"Someone. With a sigh, Qingchen got up from the bed and whispered.

"The slave is here. Jin Yan pushed the door in, walked to Mu Qingchen, and then Qingchen changed his clothes and freshened up, "Princess, is it okay to wear this goose yellow regular dress today?"

Mu Qingchen looked at the clothes in Jin Yan's hand, shook his head, and said, "It's too simple, I remember that when I left the Heavenly Star Kingdom, the imperial brother sent someone to make a few new sets of dresses for the palace, among which there is a set of light blue colors, you can bring it." ”

"Yes. Jin Yan was stunned, but he still turned around to find the dress Mu Qingchen said.

In the past, when she was in the Star Kingdom, the princess never picked out her clothes, usually what she took and what the princess wore, but I don't know why, today the princess is picky about dressing.

"Where's Aunt Qiu?" After Jinyan brought the dress, Qingchen asked again.

"Aunt Qiu went to Uncle Qin, saying that she wanted to bring the princess out of the palace Zhiting and Ruoli into the door of King Yi's mansion, and said that the princess was already Princess Yi, and the princess had to be in charge of the affairs of the palace. Jin Yan said while waiting for Qingchen to get dressed.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Mu Qingchen's mouth, but he didn't know if Qiu Rong was really thinking about her being able to take charge of the power of the palace steward, or for her own selfishness.

"Jinyan, this palace asked you to change into this formal palace costume because we will enter the palace later, and it is too rude to wear it. Qingchen said, straightening the clothes on his body, "Besides, it's time for you to change your words, this palace is now Princess Yi." ”

"Yes, Princess, the slave knows. ”

Jin Yan should accept it, and when he heard Qingchen say that he wanted to enter the palace, he helped Qingchen to put on a noble and dexterous Wangxian Jiuhuan bun, inserted a seven-tailed golden phoenix hairpin, and pasted it with a crystal forehead, so as to match Qingchen's palace outfit today.

It didn't take long for Qingchen to clean up and stop, and the rewards in the palace continued to arrive at King Yi's mansion, both from the emperor and from the queen mother.

"Brother Xie Huang's grace, thank the Empress Dowager for her grace. Xiao Yi, together with Qingchen and the subordinates of King Yi's Mansion, received the reward in the front hall.

"Lord, according to the rules, I should have entered the palace today to ask the Queen Mother for peace. Qingchen looked at the gold, silver and jewelry sent from the palace, his face remained unchanged, and said to Xiao Yi.

"This king is about to talk about this, calculate the time, and we should also enter the palace. Xiao Yi said, looking at Mu Qingchen, there was something else in his eyes.

"The concubine body has long been prepared. Qingchen said meaningfully.

Yes, I was ready, ready to enter the palace, but I faced countless open guns and hidden arrows, Xiao Ling's temptation, Shen Yuan's difficulties, and the intrigues and tricks of the harem concubines.

"The slave and maid will go and prepare the car. Seeing this, Aunt Qiu immediately spoke.

"Aunt Qiu, you don't have to follow. Qingchen stopped Qiu Rong, "Aunt Qiu is an old man in the palace after all, and she is an elder, how can you let your aunt follow the jade hook back and forth?" What's more, my aunt is experienced, and the affairs of the palace housekeeper must be handled by my aunt. ”

"In this case, Qin Zhong, you will count all the matters in the inner courtyard of King Yi's Mansion and hand them over to Aunt Qiu, in addition, the princess's dowry and the rewards sent by the palace will be registered together, and a separate warehouse will be set up, as for the account books, it is better to hand them over to Aunt Qiu for safekeeping." Xiao Yi instructed Uncle Qin, the housekeeper behind him.

"The minions obeyed. Qin Zhong agreed, and together with Qiu Rong, sent Xiao Yi and Mu Qingchen away, and only Jin Yan was left by their side.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the palace, and the two got out of the car, led by Xiao Quanzi, the chamberlain of the palace, and headed towards the Ci'an Palace where the Queen Mother lived.

Xiao Yi may not be very familiar with the palace, but Mu Qingchen is very familiar with it, when she was still Ye Chengcheng, Cardamom followed Emperor Ningyue as Shang Yi in her year, and walked in front of the quasi-emperor.

Surrounded by overlapping palace walls, surrounded by zigzag corridors, a group of four people entered from the Yuehua Gate, detoured to the Yangxin Palace, passed through the Imperial Garden, and went to Ci'an Palace.

In September, many of the flowers and plants in the garden are already falling, and even the trees that used to be full of green are occasionally falling with their leaves.

"Do you think you are still the personal maid of the Empress Dowager, or the high-ranking first-class maid of the Fengzao Palace?" The sharp voice was unceremoniously, "You are just a prisoner of the Empress Dowager now, what else do you have to worry about?"

Qingchen followed behind Xiao Quanzi, and was suddenly attracted by the words "Queen Mother" and "Fengzao Palace", looking for a sound, but saw a woman in a pale pink palace dress with her waist crossed and roaring at the person in front of her, and the person in front of her was Ye Xi, who she had seen not long ago.

"I'm talking to you, do you hear?" first move these flowers to Concubine De's Bizhi Palace......" the palace maid continued.

"I didn't know that a third-class palace maid also had the right to dictate to people in the imperial garden. Qingchen opened his mouth lightly, and his beautiful voice did not have a trace of waves, but it gave people strong pressure for no reason.

Xiao Yi looked at Mu Qingchen in surprise, thinking that at this time, she should be quiet and quiet, but she didn't expect that Mu Qingchen would have a seizure in the palace for a slave.

"See King Yi, see Princess Yi. The palace maid turned around when she heard this, but saw Xiao Yi and Mu Qingchen standing behind her, and immediately saluted in horror.

"No need to be polite, you get up and talk back, this palace remembers that I saw this maid at the last reception banquet, it is said that she is the personal maid of the first queen, but I don't know why she is here?" Although Mu Qingchen asked the palace maid, his eyes kept looking at Ye Xi.

"Princess Qiqi, this is the order of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that the Ye family was rebellious, and the Ye family deserved it, and they kept Ye Xi's life just to pay off her master's debts, so she was asked to work in the imperial garden with handcuffs and shackles. The palace maid said, deliberately biting the two words of the Ye family.

"The Queen Mother is right. Mu Qingchen glanced at the palace maid coldly, slowly walked to Ye Xi's side, squatted down, looked at Ye Xi, and spoke again, "Each kind of flowers and plants has its own characteristics, and what is sent to Concubine De's palace can't be ordinary flowers and plants." ”

The Ye family really deserves it, but the biggest sin of the Ye family is not the "great rebellion" and "bullying" that Xiao Ling planted on the head of the Ye family, but let her choose Xiao Ling and choose such a poisonous snake.

"The slave and maid thank Princess Yi for her teachings, and the slave and maid will carefully select flowers and plants and send them to Bizhi Palace. Ye Xi glanced at Mu Qingchen in surprise, slightly blessed, and picked a pot of heart-warming grass from a pile of flower pots on the ground.

Seeing this, Mu Qingchen smiled, turned his head and said to the little Quanzi who led the way: "It's not early, the Queen Mother is still waiting, father-in-law, let's go." ”

"Tsk. Xiao Quanzi nodded, leading Xiao Yi and Mu Qingchen away, leaving Ye Xi and the palace maid to stay where they were.

"Can the princess tell this king what is the purpose of this move?" Xiao Yi turned his head to look at Mu Qingchen and asked.

"That person just now is the maidservant of Ye Tingcheng, the first queen of Ning Yue, it is rumored that Ye Tingcheng is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, but also proficient in the art of war, riding and shooting, strategizing and arranging, and even studying the art of medicine and poison. Mu Qingchen came to such a sentence without a head.

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, he didn't seem to understand what Mu Qingchen meant, and seeing that Ci'an Palace was already close in front of him, he didn't ask again.

Grass, as the name suggests, is confusing, and looks ordinary on the surface, but once mixed with any spice, it will produce hallucinogenic poison, which is not noticed by people at first, and makes people feel weak and tired for a long time.

Because it is evergreen all year round, it is usually used to decorate the garden in autumn and winter, but those who are familiar with its temperament do not use it often, but I don't know when there was such a thing as a heart-weeding in this palace.

Although she and Shen Bihuan are only a few faces, she clearly knows that Shen Bihuan loves to use spices, and Bizhi Palace is afraid that there is incense all year round.

She originally just wanted to test Ye Xi's mind, after all, after a few months, I don't know what Ye Xi thinks in her heart now, or if she is not loyal to her as always. What's more, the palace is treacherous, although Ye Xi is Shen Yuan's prisoner, but I don't know if she has reached an agreement with others, if she can't find out the real situation, she must not let Ye Xi know about the matter of resurrecting her soul by borrowing the corpse.

Now it seems that Ye Xi can still be trusted, if not completely believed, at least he can use it.

"King Yi is here, Princess Yi is hereβ€”" Xiao Quanzi's singing harmony made Mu Qingchen come back to his senses from his thoughts.

Raised her eyes to look, but I don't know when, she has arrived at Ci'an Palace, this place, this is the second time she has stepped in, the last time, it was when Xiao Ling ascended the throne, and she was sealed.

Taking steps, following Xiao Yi's side, wearing an emerald green smoke veil Bixia Luo, a mopping daffodil scattered flowers and green leaf skirts, the light blue palace dress is eye-catching in the autumn depression, and the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin shines in the morning sunshine.

"See the emperor, see the queen mother. The two of them bowed blessed, and after receiving permission, they sat down.
