It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 62 Concubine Li’s resentful spirit still lingers

Every fifth day, the emperor would stay in the queen's palace.

But one month after the wedding, the emperor broke this rule and stayed at Ru Meiren's place in Luyuan.

Rumors were spreading quietly throughout the palace.

The original dispute between Concubine Li and the Queen was due to Concubine Li's accidental drowning. The Dong family was deposed and no one dared to mention it again. Later, Sima Zhong followed the example of the late emperor and took a six-yang chariot to decide which concubine he would stay with at night.

The concubines showed off their talents one after another, using leaves, branches, or some cakes and other objects to lure the Liuyang Car to the place where they lived.

As a result, the sheep was strangled to death.

Soon, some concubines discovered that the emperor did not prohibit the playing of shakuhachi in the palace, and would also order good shakuhachi musicians to play it quietly every night in Zhengyang Palace to get a peaceful sleep.

Therefore, many concubines soon began to learn the rhyme of Shakuhachi.

In the huge palace, there was faint music, which added a bit of liveliness.

Sima Lun naturally knew what was going on in the palace, but he did not prohibit it.

Yang Xianrong didn't speak either. Anyway, as long as Tianyuan Palace didn't have these "noises", she could just copy the scriptures quietly.

However, within five days of this seemingly peaceful life, another female corpse floated in Yingliu Lake. She was like a beauty.

It was still Mr. Mu from the sweeping department who discovered it first. They were so frightened that they immediately went to Zhang Du to report it.

Zhang Du hurriedly notified Yang Xianrong, Sima Lun and others.

However, Yang Xianrong didn't want to go out in such cold weather, so he asked Zhang Liangxue to check it out and then come back and talk to her.

The beauty also drowned, this time with a shakuhachi in her hand, which looked very strange.

Her maid said that because Ru Meiren had acquired a new piece of music, she was afraid that the other two beauties living in Luyuan would learn it, so she secretly went to Yingliu Lake to practice.

"Where did this song come from?" Sima Lun looked at the group of crying little girls, each of whom was three in age.It's really enough to think that for such a fool, these women would still stage a drama of competing for favor.

"This slave doesn't know." The little palace maid was so frightened that she was already shaking into chaff.

"It's probably the ghost of Concubine Li who is still alive." The beautiful lady was not afraid of Sima Lun, and stood aside with a look of disdain, "If the beauty tries to seduce the emperor every day, and she secretly obtained the music score, of course she has to practice secretly."

"Which one is this from?" Sima Lun suppressed his anger and continued to ask.

"A few days ago, she dug out all the fodder in the Luyuan and spread it all the way from Zhengyang Palace to the Luyuan. Didn't she just want the emperor's Liuyang Cart to come here?" The beautiful woman was also very dissatisfied, "She had She also left fodder, and the six sheep ate all the way, and naturally they wanted to eat from her hand. The emperor asked: Does the beauty have magic? The beauty said: It's just that I am more kind. Hahaha, she is so blatant She seduced the emperor so much that he even spilled fodder on his way to the empress... Haha, you really deserve it!"

"What a vixen! You still want to seduce the emperor with that beauty? Bah!" Yuan Meiren also said at the side, "Let me tell you, the ghost of Concubine Li is still lingering, and she still wants to seduce the emperor... Why, I am wrong. What? What kind of shakuhachi are you playing this late at night? It’s so noisy."

No one felt sad about the death of such a beautiful woman, and even thought the death was normal.

Sima Lun had no choice but to say to Zhang Du, "You can handle this matter as you see fit. Ru Meiren's family can just give her some gold."

"Do you want the widower from the Beijun Mansion to come over and do an autopsy?" Zhang Du remembered that Concubine Li had previously examined the cause of death.

"Ask what they mean." Sima Lun had already greeted his entourage, but he still turned around and said, "What is the queen doing?" "Copying scriptures in the palace." Zhang Liangxue answered quickly.

"Yeah." After answering noncommittally, Sima Lun turned around and left the palace, not wanting to care about these things at all.

Because, as December had just entered, Zhao Yan, the governor of Yizhou, suddenly raised the banner and rebelled.

Zhao Yan is the cousin of Jian Nanfeng after he was deposed, and he wants to avenge Jia Nanfeng.

Compared with this matter, the life of a beautiful woman seems not so important.

The days passed slowly like this. Yang Xianrong finished copying the "Maharaprajna Sutra". Seeing that the weather was very good, he sneaked out of the palace with Cui Xi and went to Beijun Mansion to find Mao Hongbin.

Mao Hongbin was reading various files in the back hall. When he saw Yang Xianrong walking in in casual clothes, he felt extremely happy.

"Is the sheep book here?"

"Yes, I'm here to hand in paperwork." Yang Xianrong's smile was also very bright, "It would be more enjoyable to be a clerk in Beijun Mansion."

"That's not necessarily true." Mao Hongbin asked her to sit down, "Did you know that there has been a war recently?"

"Jian Nanfeng's cousin?"

"Well, Sima Lun has sent people to exterminate them. However, looking at the situation, your eldest and second brothers will probably be transferred there."

"Why?" Yang Xianrong didn't like hearing such things.

"Even if you don't go here, you will go elsewhere." Mao Hongbin lowered his voice, "I heard that the north and west are not peaceful. Maybe your eldest and second brothers will go to the north for a while."

"No! Tell them to stop!" Yang Xianrong was very unhappy.

"Then go back and ask them what they mean." Mao Hongbin opened the "Maharaprajna Sutra" copied by Yang Xianrong and praised it again, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, your calligraphy is really beautiful."

"I heard that Li Fei's father got Wang Kuang's copybook before, which should be good."

"Speaking of Wang Kuang, it seems that Sima Lun also sent him to fight in the west."

"...He's a scholar, hey." Yang Xianrong could only sigh, "Forget it, is there anything delicious? I feel like I've already gotten angry from all the mutton I've eaten these days."

"Did you eat all the emperor's six goats?" Mao Hongbin smiled widely this time, "Is goat meat delicious?"

"It doesn't taste good! But it would be a pity to throw it away." Yang Xianrong asked Cui Xi to carry the food box over, "There are some more, I brought them over. I think if you drink, you should eat some of this. It tastes good." It should be better.”

"Hey, then I should call Liu Yao over. He recently got some spices, which can get rid of the smell of food." Mao Hongbin opened the food box and looked at it. He reached out and pinched a piece of mutton, put it in his mouth and started to smack it. taste.

"Brother Liu is still in Luoyang? I thought he was gone." Yang Xianrong was overjoyed, "Let's ask him to come and eat mutton too. There are two frozen mutton legs in the palace. I haven't figured out how to eat them yet." .”

"I wonder if you are there? A few days ago, I heard that he was going to find some kind of wood or bamboo or something, saying that he wanted to make something for his uncle to take back as a birthday gift." Mao Hongbin quietly picked up from his A small white porcelain bottle was found inside the bookcase. It was obviously a bottle of fine wine.

"Drinking is prohibited in Beijun Mansion during the day!" A shout came from the door. Mao Hongbin's hand shook in fright, and the bottle fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
