The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 731 Loser

You know, although Zhao Chen's "spiritual consciousness" was not fully open, it also covered an area of ​​ten feet around his body. It was incredible that the queen could get so close to him without being discovered.

At this distance, even the "Dongxuan" master would find it difficult to hide the truth from him.

Coupled with her pair of eyes that are even more eerie than "evil", it is even more creepy, and the name "ghost" is well deserved.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen had the ability to "block fear", so he did not pull out the "Dragon Gun" on the spot and do something rude.

However, when he calmed down and looked again, he was shocked to find that the Queen was already kneeling behind the easel again. Her face was gentle, her figure was graceful, her hips were round, and even her eyes had returned to their bright almond-shaped shape, slightly destroying the elegance between her eyebrows.

It was as if everything he had seen before was an illusion...

That was certainly not an illusion. In fact, although the Queen was lazily rubbing her forehead with her fingers at this moment, she was extremely surprised in her heart, and there was an irrepressible curiosity hidden in the depths of her almond-shaped eyes.

“No wonder Qing Ling felt that her problem had turned around… This guy may indeed be able to solve the pollution of that thing.

“And Moyun, Danfei, Qingyuan, and some other things I haven’t recognized seem to have placed bets on him…

"That's quite interesting... Should I get involved?"

The Queen showed a strange smile on her face, and then waved at the doubtful Zhao Chen and said, "Don't be so reserved. The reason I invited you here is because my palace lacks a musician who is good at playing the guqin, and the Imperial Concubine recommended you to me."

Imperial Concubine... Wang Qingling? It's not surprising that she knows I'm good at zither music, but why did she recommend me to you? Zhao Chen was puzzled, but pretended to be confused on the surface: "How could the Imperial Concubine know the name of the foreign minister?"

After all, Wang Qingling did not reveal her identity when she danced with him and gave him the forbidden token from her palace.

"Okay, don't pretend with me. There's no need... With the intelligence you've shown in the past few months, how could you not see through Qing Ling's identity?" The Queen Mother swept her eyes across Zhao Chen's cheek with a playful look, and said with a smile, "Qing Ling is thinking about you with all her heart. When she found out that you were forced by the two princes as soon as you arrived in Beijing, she was afraid that you would suffer, so she came to me to 'recommend' you, intending to use my hand to protect you...

"If you pretend not to know her, Qing Ling will be sad."

Even Qing Ling probably didn't know that this kid had Dan Fei's support behind him. How could Princess Liang have the courage to threaten him? The Queen didn't say the last sentence.

This queen must have a bad temper... And, your majesty, your words sound like you are slandering the imperial concubine's innocence!

Have I accidentally walked into the set of some palace fighting drama?

Hearing the teasing tone in Queen Zhong's voice, Zhao Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he changed the subject directly: "I wonder if I can get paid for teaching you the art of playing the zither as a musician?"

This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, and the better way to deal with it is to look back and talk about it.

The Queen Mother stopped dwelling on the previous topic and asked with interest, "What reward do you want?"

Zhao Chen considered carefully before speaking: "I wonder if the queen could answer a few questions for me?"

He can now confirm that the queen in front of him is definitely not simple, and may even be a strong person at the level of the empress.

The nickname "ghost" is most likely referring to her!
I just don't know what the exact meaning of this word is.

"Problem? That's easy. I can tell you anything I know." The Queen picked up the paintbrush and said casually while painting. But she soon thought of something and added, "Of course, except for some of my privacy."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen perked up. After a moment's thought, he asked tentatively, "I wonder...what do you think of the word 'ghost'?"

After hearing the word "ghost", the smile on the Queen's face disappeared instantly, and the "inhuman" feeling once again fell into Zhao Chen's mind, impacting his spirit and reason.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly... Just as Zhao Chen was secretly relieved, the cold voice of the Queen came to his ears: "Why do you ask me about the word 'ghost'?"

Of course it’s because “the sun avoids the Jade Toad and summons ghosts”… Zhao Chen thought so in his heart, but on the surface he said: “It was the Queen of Xiliang who told me to be careful of you, the ‘ghost who is unwilling to be lonely’.”

"So it's Dan Fei... Ha, you said I'm not willing to be lonely, so she's willing to stop at the first level of 'Shengxuan'? Isn't she still on the doomedly difficult road of 'Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Mansions'?" The Queen sneered, then looked at Zhao Chen and said seriously, "This is my privacy, I shouldn't tell you.

"But since Danfei has revealed my secrets, there is actually not much point in hiding it..."

At this point, she paused for a few seconds and then asked, "You should know about the 'underworld', right?"

"I know a little, but most of it is hearsay..." Zhao Chen answered honestly.

"Do you know that the current ruler of the 'Underworld' is 'Empress Hou Tu Ping Xin'?" the Queen asked again.

"I understand that." Zhao Chen nodded.

"Then you only need to know one thing..." The Queen laughed at herself, then stood up, walked to the window of the bedroom, and said with her back to Zhao Chen, "That is, I am the loser in the competition with Hou Tu for the Yin World, a 'ghost' who has to rely on the special conditions of the Great Xia Palace to maintain my existence..."

The loser who competed with "Empress Pingxin" for the underworld? Boss, you seem to be mocking yourself, but you are actually showing off! ?
Who is Lady Pingxin? She is a tough character who can fight with Mo Yun at his peak.

You lost to a person like this and yet you were able to escape with your life. Your Majesty, you are essentially being "Versailles", aren't you?

But how can I "summon" such a being? Zhao Chen pondered for a moment and decided to go with the flow and temporarily teach the Queen to play the piano.

As a result, physical contact is inevitable in the teaching process, which can accumulate the prerequisites for "identification" ability.

Secondly, since the other party has already paid for this transaction, he is still willing to keep his promise...

As for other information, you can slowly dig it out after you get familiar with them.

……

On the other side, the eunuch who went to Prince Liang's Mansion to announce the decree came to Ningyue Palace by carriage after Zhao Chen entered the Queen's bedroom.

After hearing that he wanted to see him, the emperor who was staying in the palace summoned him in and asked directly: "Eunuch Cao, have you finished your business?"

The eunuch Cao bowed respectfully and said, "I have told him all the stories about Kaiming Gate and other places in the palace."

"That's good... notify them and we can start the next step of the plan."
