Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 22
The next day, the twilight of the morning sun fell on the quilt in the palace lady's apartment, dotted with stars, and after smelling the fresh air, there was the fragrance of singing birds and flowers.

"You guys, why don't you get up? How long has it been?" The heavy wooden stick mercilessly hit Baosi and Axi's bedsides, making muffled noises, mercilessly interrupting Axi and Baosi's sweet dreams.

"What are you doing, my girl knelt all night last night, why don't you sleep for a while?" Axi lazily rubbed his misty eyes with his small hands, and pouted his mouth in retort.

"Hmph! You made a mistake last night, and you dare to do it again early in the morning. Someone, pull this girl out, and beat her thirty sticks!" Aunt Fang, who took the lead, yelled angrily.

Before Ah Xi could react, the wolf-like palace servants took Ah Xi off the bed and went straight out.

"Wait, aunt, I beg you, Axi is the first offender, for my sake, please let her go this time!" Bao Si jumped out of bed in fright, and begged on her knees.

"Depending on who you are, you will be punished for breaking the rules! No matter how much you dare to intercede, even you will be beaten!" Aunt Fang raised her brows upright, she didn't take Bao Si seriously at all.

"Stop! The two girls were punished to kneel all night. They were wronged in the first place. Aunt Fang, for my sake, please forgive me for now!" Look, it was Xinyue who was standing in front of her righteously, and she couldn't help cheering up: "Sister Xinyue, please, help me, if I hit thirty sticks, I won't survive."

"Shut up!" Aunt Fang gave Axi a fierce look, and then saluted Xinyue with a pleasant face, "It's rare for Miss Xinyue to speak up. How dare the old man reject this face, so let's not be an example, but these two girls can't stay in the court ladies." If you don’t have the apartment, let’s go to the Clothes Bureau.”

Xinyue nodded slightly, stepped forward to help Axi up, lightly opened her lips and said, "Axi, I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you get brought to this ghost place from Jianjiaxuan?"

Axi sobbed aggrievedly: "Sister Xinyue, all of them are the aunt Chonghua who is next to the empress, who tricked us here with sweet words."

"Chonghua? She is Empress Jiang's confidant, she would not dare to throw you out without the empress' order." Xinyue thought about it.

"Sister Xinyue, is the queen empress afraid that we will be favored by the king, and deliberately confines us so that the king can't find us?" Bao Si asked lightly with Liu Mei.

"The princess is really smart, and she can tell the truth with one word. However, if the queen really has such thoughts, then you will be in danger. Remember, except for me, when you go to the clothing bureau, don't believe anyone, and don't make any mistakes." Wrong, slaves find a way, let the king come up to save you." Xinyue gently took Baosi's hand, and told her carefully.

"Thank you for your life-saving grace. We met by chance, but my sister treated us so well. But my sister also needs to worry. Both the empress queen and the concubine Jin have bad intentions. You must be careful." Bao Si gazed gratefully. Xinyue's eyes.

"Princess, don't worry, the slaves will not let you suffer innocently." Xinyue stopped her tears and smiled confidently.

The cold wind in early spring is still freezing to the bone. Baosi and Axi, who are wearing thin dark clothes, are holding the maid’s hair in a bun. Amidst the beating and scolding of the aunts of the Huanyi Bureau, they are welcoming one hard journey after another. Looking at the Chunyan flying south, Bao Si happily greeted it in the sky, and at the same time unconsciously recalled the majestic face of Young Master Jutu.

"He, after all, still forgot about me. Could it be that I want to spend the rest of my life with Axi in this clothing bureau?" In Bao Si's heart, there was infinite sadness.The romantic plum blossoms that bloom early are flying in the air like a rain of flowers.

"Your Majesty, I am overjoyed. Since the last time I dug Tu Gongzi Da Po Dog Rong Boding's iron cavalry, more than half of the northern border towns have returned to my Da Zhou!" In the former Chaoyang Palace Hall, the flattering senior official Lu Kai was elated. He reported the victory of the frontier to the aloof Emperor Minggong.

Ming Gong seemed to be high-spirited. Over the years, rumors slandered him for being too weak in the royal family made him feel a little inferior. Ever since he summoned the same romantic and unrestrained digger, his ambition to make the country rich and the people strong and to do a great cause re-emerged in his heart. , Lu Kai's memorial made him think of Qutu again.

"Lu Kai, the widow has decided to call Zheng Guoshi's son Dudu into the capital to be enshrined, and the official worships Father Wu, and he will accompany the widow at any time!" Ming Gong said clearly.

Lu Kai quietly looked at the excited Ming Gong with his eyes, and felt that the blood on the emperor's face was much smoother than before. Could it be that the patriotic beauty he chose with his own eyes really got the favor of the king, then The day when this beauty becomes a concubine is not far away. By that time, she will have a backer in the palace, and the position of a senior doctor will be promoted.

He rejoiced in his dream of getting promoted and getting rich. After leaving the court, Lu Kai deliberately went to pay a visit to Xiao Dezi, the head of the harem. How dare a big celebrity in the world condescend to come and see the little official, the little official is really honored."

Lu Kai asked straight to the point: "Eunuch De, how is the situation in the harem recently? Are all the ladies okay?"
