Yizhi arrives

Chapter 20 1 The entrance to the palace is as deep as the sea

Chapter 20
palace.

What an evocative word.

I thought of the towering palace walls and overlapping palaces, and I wanted to laugh.

"Master, do I look like my mother?"

The corners of Ji Yue's eyes were twitching. When he heard my question, he lowered his head and gave me a glance, and said two words through his teeth: "No, like."

"Master, is the emperor handsome?"

"Not handsome."

"Master, where is my dear father?"

"have no idea."

"Master, are you still going?"

"..." I saw my pitiful pure face from the eyes he looked at me, but I chose to forgive myself, because I was only 13 years old at this time, and you all have to give a girl who doesn't understand the world some growth the right to err.

Taking advantage of my unpreparedness, Ji Yue suddenly threw me into the carriage. This fellow did it on purpose, to avenge my attack!He turned around resolutely, leaving others with a back that he thought was handsome, but on the back of the navy blue brocade robe he was wearing today, someone had painted something with white powder like graffiti at some point. Oops.

Those who can play tricks behind Ji Yue's back must have high martial arts skills.I remembered the inexplicable surprise attack on Ji Yue not long ago.He has always regarded peace as the most important thing in his walks in the world, and he will not easily offend others, especially masters with similar martial arts as himself.However, he recently offended some otherworldly master, and Zen Shengjing was against him.

I looked around, the beautiful ladies were getting on one carriage after another, and the monks serving the censors were busy counting the number of people, and there was an ugly monk who was like a pin, standing with his hands behind his back in a carriage not far away Side, very comfortable.

He noticed my gaze and gave me a wicked smile, then raised his left hand covered in white powder and waved at me, arrogantly admitting his evil deeds.It's him.I shuddered for a moment, didn't it mean that Ji Yue had just robbed me of the opportunity to get close to a woman, I am really a villain monk who must retaliate.

"Master Rukong, what is the name of your ugly and skinny brother?"

Ru Kong was confused for a while before he said, "That's the poor monk's brother Ru Chi. He has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he is mentally weak. Sometimes he speaks harshly but his heart is not bad. Ami benefactor, if there is anything inappropriate, brother, don't hesitate. Don't take it to heart, the poor monk will make amends to the benefactor on his behalf."

Who wants him to be wrong, then ask: "Is he very good at martial arts?"

Ru Kong was confused again, "Senior Brother Ru Chi doesn't know martial arts, he can't even knock wooden fish smoothly."

……

I don't believe it, it's impossible for Ruchi not to know martial arts. I got off the carriage and wanted to test out the details of Monk Ruchi, because Ruchi's evil smile seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I saw him again .But until then, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find the pin.

A middle-aged nanny with a handsome figure walked in front of everyone with a straight face. Her skin was extremely fine and fair, and she was well maintained. She must be a favored servant.She raised her orchid fingers and said to us: "This palace is no more free than outside. When you enter, be careful with your mouth, your eyes, and your hands." She has a high-pitched voice, and she seems to be a very mean woman.

The beautiful girls saluted with their tails between their legs and answered "yes", but the salutes were varied, some leaned to the left, some leaned to the right, some knelt on one knee, and some knelt on both knees. Kneeling on the ground, and some must be young ladies from the big school of Jianghu, just like a man with his left hand, fist and right hand cloth touching together, very heroic.

When the nanny saw this, her complexion was very bad, and she was extremely disgusted. I heard her muttering from a distance: "Why does our emperor like these vulgar folk girls?" Go to the small yard.

This is the partition between the outer wall of the imperial palace and the inner courtyard, where the eunuchs, maids and guards rest. It is said that the respect room is also nearby. There is a plaque on the courtyard where she took me in, called Xiaoyayuan , specially prepared for show girls.

"Nurse Rong, there is still a disabled person here!" A little maid who was waiting on the side suddenly shouted.

……

Nanny Rong turned her head and followed the voice of the little palace maid and looked towards me with surprise.

My feet were wrapped like zongzi, so I couldn't stand on the ground, Rukong asked the little maids to support me and put me at the end of the line, while he himself stood in front of me to block, the nun looked at so many people for a while Did not find a me, very normal.

"Master Rukong, aren't you embarrassing me?" Nanny Rong pushed aside the crowd, talking to Rukong full of complaints.

She probably thought that Ru Kong had really found a disabled woman to enter the palace as a draft pick. There had never been such a precedent. If she brought the disabled into the small elegant garden, she would be a pioneer and could be famous for a long time.

Rukong said "Amitabha" first, and then explained: "This female benefactor is not disabled, but accidentally injured her foot and is temporarily unable to walk." He described my evil deeds extremely euphemistically.

After hearing this, Mother Rong looked over at Rukong to look at me, she had slanted eyes, her eyes were slanted there, very fierce.

"Foot injury? I think this girl's IQ is flawed." She smiled leisurely, and gave a look to the two little maids who stood beside me. They ordered me to slowly drag me into the room. Small Yayuan.

I am a person who eats soft and fears hard temper.

As soon as he met someone like Nanny Rong, he didn't make another sound, and was dragged inside obediently.

Just before leaving, he turned his head and glanced at Ru Kong again, reluctant to part with it, and a group of bare-headed monks stood neatly outside the small elegant garden.Seeing me turn around, Rukong bowed down and said "Amitabha" as a habit, and the other monks probably had nothing to do, so they followed him and said "Amitabha".

The sun refracts from their heads into my eyes,

I really can't look straight...

"I washed myself clean today, and I will have a body check tomorrow."

Nanny Rong said a word to us, turned her ass and left.

Several young ladies sent three boxes of clothes of the same style, and asked us to choose according to our body shape to wear tomorrow.

The little maid who had helped me and called me disabled walked up to me, "Mother said that your legs and feet are inconvenient, so let the servants stay and take care of you."

I asked what her name was.

She said her name was Huang Hua, the Huang Hua of Huang Hua's eldest daughter.

I'm not only a soft-hearted person, but I also hold grudges. I decided to let her serve me well because of Huang Hua's words about being disabled.

And this palace is indeed a place that can infect people. As soon as those girls entered the palace, they seemed to be possessed by the female ghosts and concubines in the deep palace, and soon entered the palace fighting mode.Especially for me, because I have special treatment.The girl who lent me Tang Pozi ran over and asked how my feet were with great concern, and said that her Tang Pozi was not good, which hurt my feet.But I heard her turn her head and sneer at others: "I kindly lent her Mrs. Tang, but I made myself like this. I'm so stupid. Could it be to attract the emperor's attention?"

"As for?" Someone disagreed.

"Why not, don't you see that there is someone dedicated to serving her?" She sounded envious of me.

Huang Hua also heard it, but she said to me: "Girl, someone bribed Nanny Rong to send someone to take care of you with disabilities, so Nanny Rong sent me here, and I got some of the money, let me Take good care of you, it's definitely not the emperor's intention, don't listen to their nonsense." I saw her looking for my own good, as if she was afraid that I would feel that it was the emperor's kindness that was on my head.

I was curious, and asked Huang Hua if she knew who bribed her, Huang Hua frowned, "I don't know the name, he is tall and big, with a very good-looking face, but his taste is a bit strange, and the clothes he wears are painted with strange patterns. I was disgusted by Nanny Rong."

Unconsciously, Ji Yue's back with the word "囧" on his back appeared in his mind.

I can't tell what kind of mood it is.Raising me so big, after all, there are some feelings.But suddenly one day they sold me again. Even though I resisted the beating, I really couldn't accept it, and I still haven't figured out many details about the cause and effect of this matter.Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of someone, and tentatively asked Huang Hua: "Is there any story about the dead queen in the palace?

Huang Hua was frightened like a deer, and waved her hands, "Girl, you can't eat indiscriminately in this palace, and you can't talk indiscriminately. You must never mention the word empress. This is a taboo in the palace. If the emperor hears it, my life Not sure."

so serious?

It seems that the old emperor hated his wife deeply.

"Then do you know that there used to be a concubine, Mrs. Pan, who was very much loved by the emperor?"

"Huh... never heard of it."

I was a little disappointed, but seeing that the girl Huang Hua was younger than me, the old things in the palace were really limited, and even if she knew it, it was all hearsay, not completely credible, so she said some random things, just right When I was about to go to bed, a eunuch came suddenly. Everyone called him Xiao Gonggong. He was a thin and short old man with a stooped back. At first I thought it was the little eunuch, but later I realized that it was the emperor who was very popular with dozens of people. year people.

Eunuch Xiao went straight to my room and said with a smile, "This is Song Xiaomi, right?"

I nodded, suddenly feeling like a dark cloud enveloped my head.

"The old slave is here to pick up Miss Song, please go with the old slave." He made a gesture of invitation and waited for me.

"Where are you going?" I swallowed, feeling a lot of pressure.

"Go to Hongmeng Hall, the emperor wants to see you." The smiling eunuch said with a relaxed face.

But my whole body was as soft as mud. Because of my foot injury, I didn't get up to greet the father-in-law when he came in, and now I was leaning on the stool, even more unwilling to leave.He gave Huang Hua and the little eunuch beside him a look, and they supported me and left.

When I went out, I heard those show girls whispering again, which was unbearable.

Along the way, I thought that the reason why the emperor was so eager to see me was because my mother was the one who insulted him in the past, and when she saw me, she transferred her hatred to me and then made the best use of it.In this way, the road leading to Hongmeng Palace made me feel full of thorns, and I have never hated Ji Yue more than this moment.

I guess the expression on my face was too tangled, I smiled and my father-in-law walked beside me, and said kindly: "Miss, don't worry, the emperor is the most merciful."

……

The Hongmeng Hall is not the emperor's bedroom, but a small Taoist temple placed in the palace. On the surface, it is not obvious that it is a Taoist temple, but when you enter it, it is an empty hall. Out is a Taoist concept.There are only a few Taoist talismans pasted on the wall, and red talismans are drawn on the bright yellow background. I don't know what it means.

Eunuch Xiao took me to the apse, where there was a room with lights on, and it looked very lonely in the cold wind.

"Your Majesty, someone brought it here."

A weary voice responded, and the smiling father-in-law turned back and sent Huang Hua to wait outside the Hongmeng Hall. He personally supported me and went into the room.I was already very nervous, but when he did this, my whole body was completely paralyzed, and the laughing father-in-law was short, half a head shorter than me. In the end, I was like the kind of prisoner who was dragged out for interrogation after being tortured half alive .

In my mind, the image of the emperor is: a white fat, wretched, sexy old man.

But the real image of the emperor is: a sallow, thin, kind little old man.

I heard the sound of a wall in my heart crumbling.

He was originally lying on a soft couch with his head resting on his arms, and he slowly got up when he saw us coming in.Laughing father-in-law asked me to kneel in front of the emperor, and he ran over to bring a small table and put it on the soft couch so that the emperor could drink tea on it.I suddenly feel very disrespectful that this emperor is somewhat similar to the laughing father-in-law.

"Are you Song Xiaomi?" The emperor spoke in such an amiable and lovely way, it reminded me of an old man who often came to knead the dough in the street of Luyi City. The milk baby stayed by his stall and refused to leave.

Laughing father-in-law pushed my knee against me, and I immediately bowed my head obediently and said: "Minister Song Xiaomi, kowtow to the emperor."

"Get up." His tone couldn't hide his tiredness, and he looked very busy.

I was helped by the laughing father-in-law to sit on the edge of the teacher's chair, and the father-in-law knelt down to rest, leaving only me and the old emperor in the room, with a faint medicinal fragrance permeating the air.If I remember correctly, this year is the 43rd year of Shenfeng, and the current emperor ascended the throne at the age of 13, this year is 56 years old...

"Is there writing on my face?"

No, I thought that eating well and dressing well in the palace should be well maintained, but why do you look 80 years old, Your Majesty?

"Minister, it's the first time for Minnv to see Tianyan. I can't help it, I can't help but want to take a second look." I have been fluent in speech since I was a child, but today I stutter, and my heart is nervous.Because the playbook often writes two sentences of the emperor, "drag it out and behead it" and "kill the nine clans".

The emperor laughed and asked me, "What's the matter with the feet?"

"My majesty, my feet, my feet were accidentally burned by Mrs. Tang while sleeping yesterday. It's really a burn."

The old man was leaning against the desk and smiling, with an inscrutable expression on his face.

I have a guilty conscience and always worry that the emperor will call my father-in-law to drag me out and kill me.

"Song Xiaomi." The Great Zhou Emperor called my name.

???

"I heard that you have a master who is known as the number one son in the Jianghu?"

Eh?I nodded in a daze, and my head turned silently uncontrollably. The emperor seems to have a plan for drafting girls this time, and I am an indispensable pawn in this plan. What does he want to do to me?And Ji Yue has kept me private for so many years, the emperor asked my master as soon as he came up, he must be very concerned about what happened back then, he summoned me so late, in case I aroused an unhappy mood...will he come down? One sentence is to kill me?
I admit that I am not only stubborn, narrow-minded, but also as timid as a mouse.

"Tell me, in your eyes, what kind of person is your master?"

The emperor asked casually, but I didn't dare to answer casually, "My teacher is a smart (cunning), restrained (black belly), and kind (venomous tongue) person." After finishing speaking, I felt that it was not enough, so I added, "It's Dongliang Zhou. Talent." This sentence is true.

The person on the soft couch said "oh", mixed with playfulness and suspicion, he is the real dragon emperor, the king of a country, I dare not guess, and I can't guess, I just feel my heart beating in my throat, For me and Ji Yue's two lives.

The sweat on my forehead quietly flowed down from the hairline, across my neck and into the collar of my collar. In fact, my back was wet through the jacket to the jacket.Just when he was worried, "Do you know that your master came to beg me today." The old man said suddenly.

Huh?
Can Ji Yue still face the saint?Subconsciously, I was surprised at first, and then I felt it was reasonable.He said that he is loyal to the emperor. He is a middleman who straddles the temple and the rivers and lakes.People say that the rivers and lakes are dangerous, and swords and swords are dangerous. If an enemy comes and kills your entire family; the court is also dangerous, with undercurrents surging.

Master, you are so dangerous, is your family full of troubles?

I was worried about Ji Yue's safety, the emperor coughed fiercely to get my attention, "Guess what he begged me for?"

I shook my head, not daring to guess wildly, but at that moment a cluster of small flames of hope were ignited on the tip of my heart.I hope that what Ji Yue is asking for is related to me, but this hope is too fragile and small, as if it can be extinguished with just a blink of an eye.

"Your master said that one night he was poisoned by the incense, and you broke in by mistake. He became unconscious for a while and did something bad to you." The emperor said slowly, looking at me with wise eyes while talking. Turning around, it was only then that I felt that the emperor had the wretched feeling I imagined.

"Ah, how can the master say such a thing?" I was surprised, and I gathered my little padded jacket, ashamed as hell.It’s not that I’m shy about what happened between me and him. We do have some skin-to-skin relationship, and there’s nothing to praise. I’m shy. He told the emperor about it. Could it be that what he’s asking for is for the emperor to let me go? Let go, dissolve past hatred.Ji Yue has always been a gentleman, I can't believe that he will not be responsible to me.So I shyly let the emperor misunderstand me, and the small fire in my heart suddenly burned very brightly.

The emperor showed a mouthful of sallow teeth, and this time he really smiled happily, "So he begged me, let the nurse who examined Xiunu turn a blind eye during the examination tomorrow, so as not to embarrass you. Afraid that I will blame you for wearing a green hat, you must tell me about it first, and take all the faults on yourself, you are really a loyal minister... He actually knows, and I don’t care about those." He said The words were very meaningful, and I didn't think about the taste for a while.

I don't know where a gust of cold wind came in, it was very cold, and it got into my clothes from the leg of my trousers, making me shiver uncontrollably.
