Queen Ju sat in front of the window in a daze, she was finally the master of the Stone King's Palace, but there was no trace of joy in her heart.

Behind her, several palace maids were silently busy like ghosts, or pretended to be busy, because what they were doing did not require so many people, nothing more than laying out the bedding, sprinkling a little incense, and placing small objects repeatedly, which she had done with ease when she had only one maid in the past.

But she is now the guardian of the Dragon King and the Stone King, and she has the right to enjoy these useless luxuries, anyway, there are many maids in the palace, and they can't be allowed to do nothing every day.

It was a wonderful feeling to be a master, and those who had previously turned a blind eye to her now kowtowed apprehensively, and who had only nodded their heads in general acquaintances, now boasted like old acquaintances that they had seen how different the princess was, and hoped that these words would reach the queen's ears.

Queen Ju was afraid of losing everything she had so hard to get.

She turned her head, glanced at the palace maids in the room, and asked the eldest of them, "How long have you been in the palace?"

She didn't mention names, because she couldn't remember these people, and the ladies were all buried in their work, but they instinctively knew who the queen was talking to.

The old palace maid immediately stopped what she was doing, bowed her head respectfully and replied, "Twenty-one years, Your Highness." ”

"Twenty-one years, older than my age. Then you must have witnessed how many owners this palace has changed. ”

"Your Highness, the royal palace has always belonged to the royal family, and it has never changed owners. The palace maid couldn't guess the new master's intentions, so she answered very carefully.

"Don't treat me as my brother, leave these nice lies to the next master, I want to listen to the truth. ”

The other ladies were getting busier and busier, and the quilt was as smooth as the marble floor, and there were still two hands on it that gently stroked it repeatedly, vowing to eliminate every wrinkle.

The old palace maid knelt down in fear, "Yes, Your Highness, I'll tell you the truth, these twenty-one years have been ...... Counting you, there have been five owners. ”

The five masters, on average, are only a little more than four years, and I can't imagine that the incompetent brother has survived this time, and she has just begun.

Who are the masters? are the kings who can't keep the power in their hands, or these palace ladies who have wasted their years?

Queen Ju turned her head and continued to stare out the window into the night, as if she had forgotten the old palace maid behind her.

Xu Yan glanced at the old palace maid, indicating that she could get up and continue working.

The old palace maid's heart is a lot down, everyone knows that the status of this personal maid next to the queen is not ordinary, the queen is the king's guardian, but Xu Yanwei is the queen's guardian.

Xu Yanwei doesn't like her identity very much, she would rather be the most ordinary palace maid, or simply kick her out of the palace and live freely on the street, rather than secretly intrigue with the queen here.

The queen trusts and relies on her, and is wary of her, because she is a man sent by the dragon king and will tell the dragon king and her brother everything that is close to the queen.

"Your Highness, it's not early, go to bed and rest, it's dark outside, there's nothing to see. The petite Xu Yanwei is playing the role of mother and sister at the moment, which is also what she doesn't like.

"Well, right away. Queen Ju also played a little trick like a child, sat down for a while, and slowly got up, and was helped to the bed by a court maid, and the marble-floored quilt immediately lost its meaning.

When the palace maid lowered the curtain, set up her shoes, and was about to close the window, Queen Ju spoke, "Let it be open, it's a little hot." ”

"It's going to catch a cold at night, so let's close it. Only Xu Yanwei dared to disobey the queen's will slightly, but it was only "slightly".

"No, let it be on, I'll call you when it's cold. "The queen is still as stubborn as a child.

Xu Yan sighed silently, walked over, closed most of the windows, leaving only a crack, and then retreated with the palace maids.

Queen Ju had no sleep, her eyes were open, listening to every sound around her, the sound of insects in early summer was tiresome, and if she ordered, there would be a group of palace maids and eunuchs who would catch insects with candles, and when she really had all the power, she might do so, but now she just listened until the sound of waiting sounded in her ears.

"What's the matter with me?"

The voice was cold and rude, and the speaker obviously did not regard her as the master, and Queen Ju's mind suddenly retreated from the boundless fantasy to reality, and she had to be careful when dealing with this woman.

"I heard that the Dragon King is going to the North Court in person?"

"Hmm. The Lotus knew that this was only the beginning, and that the queen had not come to her to confirm such a trivial matter.

After Beiting was willing to send a prince as a hostage, Gu Shenwei agreed to go to Beiting to participate in the negotiation in person, Zhong Heng was skeptical, but Dugu Xian was willing to vouch for this, "Beiting is different from Jinpeng Castle, what he said will not be repented in front of the world, King Dubu can sacrifice his son, the old Khan King cannot, even if this prince is something he doesn't like, the bloodline of King Khan is sacred in Beiting, with such a prince as a hostage, I believe it will be very safe." ”

"Do you know that a princess in the North Court even wrote to invite me to come too. Queen Ju seemed to be very disdainful.

"Hmm. The Dutch girl had read the letter.

In the battle of the slope of the sea, the most attractive thing is the female soldiers of the country of Xiangji, although they only stood on the slope and shot a few rounds of arrows, and did not even participate in the battle to pursue the deserters, in the eyes of everyone, this is still an incredible phenomenon.

Occasionally, on the whim of a certain king, he would establish a female army, which was nothing more than fun, and in the entire Western Regions, and even in the world, female soldiers only appeared in absurd legends.

The Dragon King's move was indeed unexpected by everyone, and it also brought unexpected effects to himself.

Queen Ju said that the "princess of the North Garden" is not simple, she is the old Khan King and the size of the two clans of the small clan, the status is respected, it is she who is quite interested in the female soldiers of the country of incense, so she invited the queens and princesses of the world, gathered in the grassland, nominally to taste wine and enjoy flowers, in fact, to talk about military and martial arts.

However, many people suspect that in the end, the main content of this party is wine tasting and flower viewing.

"The Dragon King won't let me go. Queen Ju tried her best to keep her voice quiet, but she still couldn't hide her disappointment and resentment.

"No one can change the Dragon King's decision. ”

Queen Ju had no intention of letting the lotus girl intercede, and although she didn't see much of it, she knew the dragon king's temper very well, "I guess the 'queen' of the country of incense will go." ”

"Not necessarily, she doesn't like this kind of thing. ”

"She'll go. Queen Ju's tone suddenly became more affirmative, as if she knew everything about the "queen" she had never met, "Because the Dragon King is going to the North Garden." ”

The Dutch girl thought it was funny, she really wanted to remind the queen to go through a few more years of training and try to use a killer again, "You came to me just to tell me this?"

Queen Ju was silent, there were some things she didn't want to say too bluntly, she was a little afraid of the Lotus Girl, the female guard of the Dragon King was different from all the women she had ever seen, sometimes, she would suddenly see the shadow of the Dragon King from the Lotus Girl, which made her worry that her solicitation would be in vain in the end.

"Those two chapters of scripture have always been in my mind, I swore to the Dragon King, I will never reveal a word to outsiders, but you are the most trusted person of the Dragon King, you can't be regarded as an outsider, so ...... If you want, I can recite it to you. ”

Queen Ju believed that the Lotus Maiden was a wise man and would understand what she meant: if you want something, you have to come up with an equivalent exchange.

"You're trying in vain, she's not going to North Garden. The lotus girl replied coldly, but her heart moved.

Thousands of miles away, Shangguan Ru really didn't want to go to Beiting, the country of Xiangji was not under the jurisdiction of Beiting, there was no need to curry favor with any big or small Yan clan, and once invited, it was like admitting that she was the ruler of a country, which was not her wish.

Old Man Mu kept his promise and did not kill indiscriminately in the Easy Sea, so he no longer had to live in prison, and stood on a chair at this time, looking at the simple letter repeatedly.

"You should go. He said, his voice was low, and he tried to play the image of a philosopher in front of Shangguan Ru, "Not for yourself, but for the people of the country of incense, as well as the dragon king." ”

The Dragon King was another reason why she didn't want to go to Beiting, "I have done everything I can, his martial arts are better than mine, and he is much smarter than me, so he doesn't need my help." ”

Old Man Mu shook his head solemnly, "Not necessarily, the Dragon King's martial arts are very good, but he is not the first in the world, people are also very smart, sometimes they are too smart, this trip to the North Court, he must have made a whole set of plans, but I am worried that people are not as good as the sky, he may fall into a trap and need your help." ”

"I can't help the trap that can trap the dragon king. ”

"In the battle of the slope of the sea, if it weren't for your help, the Dragon King would have been defeated. ”

"It was all his idea, I just ...... Forget it, I don't want to go to the North Garden. ”

A good girl can be very stubborn sometimes, and the old man Mu understands her, so he changed his rhetoric again, "Okay, we don't care about the life or death of the Dragon King, but what about the people of the Aromatic Country?"

"Beiting's hand can't reach here. ”

"When the country of incense was still a legend, you were right, but now the situation is different, if you want to complain, you will complain about the dragon king, he let women go to the battlefield, so that the country of incense is famous all over the world, originally there were only a few jackals around us, and now we can attract lions and tigers. ”

Shangguan Ru was silent, and the old man Mu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "The Beiting Xiao Yan clan has invited queens and princesses from all over the world, in fact, you are the most important guest, if you don't go, not only will you offend the powerful country, but also give people the impression that you are in the country of incense to seize the time to train more female soldiers, ready to charge for the dragon king." ”

"I don't have ......"

"I said, that's the impression of outsiders, and if you don't show up, they're going to believe it more, so you need to explain a little bit. ”

"You seem to want to go to the North Court very much. ”

"Beiting is also my hometown, but if you have any doubts, put me back in the dungeon, I don't have to follow you. ”

Old man Mu prayed secretly: Good girl must take me there, whether the last part of life can regain freedom depends on this trip.
