Chapter 31: Seeking Dan

In the cold season, the palace is as warm as spring, and the concubine Niangniang wears an emerald green dress and sits on the seat, with a simple hairpin on her head, like a big sister next door.

She has been with Tuoba Lie for half her life, giving birth to two princes, Wang Zi Zhen and Huang Zi Lie, who are now half a hundred years old, but there are almost no fine lines on her face, her neck line is beautiful, her skin is firm, she can be broken by blowing, and she is extremely well maintained.

There is a fragrance on the body, like the smell of peony flowers, mixed with a little snack, similar to fox odor, Sister Tiger also has it, it is obviously stinky but it makes men want to stop and salivate.

Such a fresh and elegant dress really made Shen Fei unexpected, the concubine seemed to notice the strangeness of Shen Fei's gaze, and the plump lips with pale pink lip gloss grinned, revealing a faint smile: "This palace knows that the emperor and Daozun are coming, so I deliberately dress simply, so that you don't have pressure." ”

"The mother is thoughtful. Shen Fei bowed slightly.

"This is Shen Daozun, I heard that the emperor got acquainted with Daozun in Jinling City, and he regarded it as his own. The concubine directly led the topic to Shen Fei, it seems that this summons is not so simple, "Wu'er, get up, get up, the food is going to be cold." ”

Only then did Tuoba Lie stand up and introduced: "Queen Mother, Shen Fei is the personal disciple of the thirteenth generation head of the Shushan Sword Sect, and he is a Dao Immortal, the distinguished guest of this king. ”

"I've seen the concubine Niangniang, and the poor road is called Yuanzheng. Shen Fei's eyebrows and eyes were half-open and half-closed, pretending to be an unfathomable appearance of fairy wind bones.

"Ringing ring, ringing ring!" The cold wind blew the wind chimes on the window, and the palace maid who guided them hurried over to close the window, and after the window was closed, the room became semi-closed, warmer and the fragrance lingering on the nose was also stronger, making people feel in a trance.

"I've seen Master Yuanzheng. The concubine looked at Shen Fei with a smile, her eyes were like a snake, winding and licking on Shen Fei's body, bringing him huge pressure, Shen Fei said secretly: "No wonder she can fascinate Your Majesty, her fox kung fu is only above Sister Tiger." Shen Fei only felt that the gaze of the concubine seemed to have a kind of magic, just looking at it ordinarily can make you feel the throbbing from the heart, and feel a kind of silent instigation and temptation, the terrible thing is that she has not even moved until now, and her clothes are not exposed, and she is at least more than fifty years old.

"Quick, come here, the food is going to be cold, let's eat together." ”

"Thank you. ”

"Xie Guifei Niangniang. ”

Sitting at the dinner table, Shen Fei was a little closer to the other party, and he could see almost every detail of the concubine in his eyes, I have to say that she is indeed old, even if the maintenance is perfect, even if the whole face is deliberately retouched, it still can't erase the traces left by the years, although this trace has turned into a charm, but after all, it is a trace, and it can't be erased. Reminiscent of the fact that Huang Zilie once said that His Majesty married a new lady named Boxing Yu a few years ago, and gave birth to a prince with him, it can be seen that the concubine of the current dynasty who has fought with the queen for most of her life but is still not the queen is now in a predicament, once the emperor's favor is lost, and there is no noble position of the queen's mother, the concubine's current situation is really embarrassing.

In addition, Shen Fei also thought of a section, that is, the fragrance smelled on the palace maid, this fragrance not only contains trance-making hallucinogens, but also has a small amount of musk, and musk is a medicine that causes infertility in women. The concubine is likely to deliberately keep some beautiful women in captivity in the palace for the emperor to play, but let them be under his control, absolutely will not get pregnant, as long as he does not get pregnant, he will definitely not be able to affect his status, as long as he can keep the emperor in his own palace, he has no intention of caring about other women, the abacus in the concubine's heart must be like this. It's a pity that by all means, I can't count His Majesty's own sister, the mother-in-law of the prince Zilie, will send the beautiful woman who replaces her into the palace, and even give birth to a son, this is what His Royal Highness said, Tuoba Phoenix and Guifei Ling Ruyi have been not in harmony for a long time.

The beautiful harem looks calm, but in fact the waves are turbulent, and when you think about it deeply, it is really scary.

As a prince, Tuoba Lie is not a lot of opportunities to enter the palace to dine with his biological mother, and he knows very well that the queen mother does not like him, because his partner is the daughter of his father's biological sister Tuoba Phoenix, and Tuoba Phoenix's favorite thing is to send some beautiful women to the palace to please his father, and Mrs. Fist Yu is thanks to her. The queen mother and Tuoba Phoenix have always had a dislike, so the anger on herself caused her to be half-lukewarm to herself, when she announced the decree yesterday, she named and said that she wanted to take Shen Fei into the palace together, and he understood that the person the queen mother wanted to see was not himself but Shen Fei.

As for the reason, hehe!

Tuoba Lie picked up the dishes for the concubine and said: "Queen Mother, the child is stationed in the frontier and can't take care of you all the time, I feel ashamed, you can eat more vegetables." ”

"Silly son, you command the army and be loyal to the country, it is the most important filial piety, the queen mother and your father are in the eyes, this time you are still in the court, Your Majesty He is afraid that there will be other arrangements for your future, so you have to make more preparations. ”

"Does my father always come over? ”

"After many years of husband and wife, the relationship is deep after all, and when there is nothing to do, Your Majesty often comes to the palace to sit here. When she said this, the eyes of the concubine were obviously a little wandering, and it could be seen that there was sadness in her words, but I was afraid that the situation was not optimistic. Come to think of it, no matter how old a man is, what he likes is a woman who is eighteen or nineteen years old and waiting to be released, and the concubine Niangniang can rely on her own charm to occupy the emperor's favor for nearly 30 years, which is not simple, and now she is old and decrepit, and she has met the "strong enemy" sent by her father-in-law in person, and she gave birth to a son, and she is really powerless to deal with it. Fortunately, Wang Zilie and Wang Zizhen are both adults and can take charge of themselves, otherwise the status of the concubine is in jeopardy.

"That's for the best. Tuoba Lie nodded yes, took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, the temperature was still hot, and it could be seen that the time was very accurate.

The concubine's gaze wandered to the sky, as if her heartstrings were touched by the words just now, and then she suddenly woke up, looked at Shen Fei with anticipation, and licked her lips: "This palace has long heard that Lie'er can complete the task assigned by His Majesty, and it has a lot to do with Master Yuanzheng, in order to express my gratitude, this palace has specially prepared a generous gift, please accept it." ”

Talking about clapping her hands, her ten fingers are wearing fake fingers on her middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, and her fingers are slightly cocked when she claps her hands, charming and elegant.

With her summoning, it was the maid who had just turned into the house, dragging a brocade box out, and the concubine motioned her to open it, which contained a delicate and gorgeous vermilion hairpin, inlaid with a thumb-sized orb, "I heard that Daozun has a confidante, give it to her." ”

Shen Fei frowned slightly, the concubine's knowledge of everything about himself made him slightly unhappy, and he looked at Zhu Hai in the brocade box expressionlessly, and did not move.

The concubine thought he didn't like it, so she said: "There are some women's things here in this palace, which are rare among the people, so I thought of taking out one and giving it to the master to express my gratitude." ”

"Things are good, but the poor road is in love with His Highness, and it is within his duty to help His Highness, and he should not receive this generous gift. ”

"Deserved, deserved, with Master Yuanzheng taking care of the children, the palace will be much more relieved. With an eyebrow, the concubine tapped her fingers and said, "Cover the box, and send it to Daozun later." ”

"It's a mother. ”

"Something else. When the words came to this, the concubine couldn't bear the expectation in her heart, it seemed that she had waited too long at the moment, she really couldn't wait, with her status, it was unimaginable to be able to look forward to something so eagerly, "I heard that Dao Zun is good at refining the elixir, but is there such a thing?" It turned out that she came for the elixir.

......

The concubine Niang Ling Ruyi, and Tuoba Lie's mother-in-law Tuoba Phoenix, have always had a dislike, and naturally don't like Tuoba Phoenix's only daughter An Linglong, which affects Tuoba Lie, and he is also cold, far from treating the prince really kindly. Obviously, he gave a heavy gift on the first day of Tuoba Lie's return, and eagerly summoned him into the palace, and even named Shen Fei to accompany him, which shows that it is not that Tuoba Lie's attitude has changed greatly, but that she has a request for Shen Fei.

In the palace, what can ask for a Taoist priest who is far away in the sky, think about it carefully, there is nothing more than one thing, and that is the elixir! To be precise, the immortal elixir brings eternal life and face. Since she knew everything about Shen Fei and Tuoba Lie's every move, she must have known Shen Fei's wonderful use of refining the elixir, the purpose of Shen Fei's preaching down the mountain, and his means of using the elixir to seduce dignitaries and dignitaries into submission. From this, she directly expressed her intentions, hoping to get a pill of elixir, for women, there is nothing more tempting than an aging face to rejuvenate itself.

Shen Fei and Tuoba Lie had already prepared for this, both of them were such smart people, the concubine's will had just been issued, what her purpose was, and they both knew what her purpose was, and they didn't resist, after all, Shen Fei already had the purpose of using the elixir as a breakthrough to open up the preaching situation, and it was naturally better for the concubine to take the initiative so much.

So, after the other party expressed his expectations so eagerly, Shen Fei deliberately sank his face according to the pre-assumption and didn't say a word.

The concubine was anxious, and she had to be anxious in the face of an opportunity that could change the future: "What, Daozun is unwilling?"

"With the relationship between me and His Royal Highness, a pill of elixir is naturally nothing, but my Taoism has always only crossed people who are destined, and has always only interacted with people who are destined, and the elixir can only be given to people who are destined. ”

"Dare to ask Daozun, what is a person who is destined. ”

"Those who are pious are destined. ”

"How to express sincerity. ”

"Fasting and bathing within three days, and devoting oneself to the Tao is an expression of sincerity. ”

"Hongu can do it. ”

"I didn't have contact with anyone for three days and three nights, and even His Majesty couldn't contact Niangniang, did you really do it?"

"Hongu can. ”

"Poor Dao trusts Niangniang, so this elixir will be handed over to Niangniang for safekeeping in advance, hoping that Niangniang can really take this elixir after completing what she promised Poor Dao. ”

"Daozun rest assured, this palace will definitely do it. ”

"It's best if you can do it, after all, you are the biological mother of Your Highness, and you have some fate with this way. As he spoke, Shen Fei took out a beautiful box that had been prepared a long time ago from his arms, opened a crack slightly, and a thick immortal essence overflowed, and the concubine's eyes were about to pop out, and she straightened up and swallowed her saliva again and again, "I'll leave it to you, don't let Poor Dao down!"

......

After fasting and bathing for three days, Shen Feiti's request seemed simple, but it actually had a profound meaning. The concubine Niangniang is the second person in the harem, the most trusted person in today's long live, if she does something, what changes have occurred will inevitably attract the attention of the entire harem. What's more, in three days, he was alone, and even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't see it, and the matter of Niangniang's acceptance of the Taoist elixir would definitely blow to the warm wind blowing from the sea, and it would soon spread all over Chang'an, and when the time came, he Shen Fei would become famous, and there would be an endless stream of visitors.

Shen Fei knew that the Buddha Sect had already issued an instruction - all those who believed in other religions were heretics. If he wants to pry open a crack, he needs to lure those who are hungry for profit, even if he has a huge risk of offending the Buddha, he has to associate with him, and at that time, the Lingyin Temple's edict is self-defeating.

If you want to take it, you must give it first, Shen Fei deeply understands this truth, and has enough patience, the concubine Niangniang took the initiative to come to the door is something he did not expect at all, a golden opportunity, with Niangniang's influence, his statement will soon spread throughout Chang'an, and the Buddha Sect will not sit idly by.

Master Pude once said that the real purpose of the Pure Spirit Monk is to lure himself to meet the three conditions for the Buddha to start the battle to eliminate heresy, and if he can use methods to force them to take the initiative, the purpose of the Pure Spirit Monk will be defeated.

On the way back, Shen Fei and Huang Zilie chatted through the sedan chair, chatting about some things that were not afraid of being heard by others, and when they walked to Zhengde Gate (Zhengde Gate is one of the three entrances to the palace, facing east), they suddenly saw a team of carriages and horses driving into the palace, and they were shocked, and secretly said: Who is so bold and dares to drive a horse in the palace!

But he was surprised to find that the guards of the forbidden palace looked at each other, and none of them dared to step forward to stop them, so he understood that the identity of the person driving the horse must be extraordinary, and asked the coachman: "Who is that, why are you so bold." ”

"Hey, who else could it be, the youngest prince Tuoba Huabei!" the palanquin man said briskly, it seems that this is not a secret in the imperial capital.

Tuoba Lie was puzzled, and asked again: "Seventeenth brother, does he have such courage?"

"Lord Wang, you have been guarding outside the fortress all the year round, and you don't know the situation in the imperial capital, and the current court is different from the past. ”

"What's the difference, let's hear it. ”

"You should know that a few years ago, your father, Emperor Xinna, had a concubine named Lady Fist Yu. ”

"How. ”

"Mrs. Boxing Yu has just arrived in the palace, although she is favored, she is weak and often excluded. At the beginning of this year, she was pregnant with the dragon seed, and His Majesty was even more fond of her, so Mrs. Fist Yu took this opportunity to invite merit, hoping to accept your seventeenth brother as her godson. ”
