Allure of a Country Maiden

Because there were envoys from other countries performing for the Wanshou Festival this time, individual performances by ladies from various aristocratic families were cancelled, and only twenty outstanding dancers were selected to perform the opening dance. Naturally, there was no such thing as marriage.

Many people have been preparing for several years but have no room to perform, which is a pity in their hearts.

Xiao'er was walking in the large procession leaving the palace, and all the ladies and ladies who passed by expressed regret that they did not get the chance to get married or that they did not attract the attention of a certain young master or such-and-such prince.

Only then did Xiaoer realize that her ideas had ruined the futures of many women. It was a sin, a sin.

Xiaoer and Shen Chengyao had not gone far when the eunuch beside the queen came over.

"My slave, please pay your respects to Marquis Shengping and County Lord Ruian."

Xiao'er recognized that this was Eunuch Tong, the eunuch beside the queen, and asked with a smile: "Eunuch Tong, there is no need to be polite. I don't know that my father-in-law came here specially, but what's the matter?"

"Back to the County Lord, the queen misses the County Lord very much and would like to invite the County Lord to come over and talk." Eunuch Tong replied respectfully.

"Dad, you go back first! I'll go back later." Xiaoer said to Shen Chengyao after hearing this.

Shen Chengyao knew that the queen had a good impression of his daughter, so he had nothing to worry about. He nodded: "I will send a carriage to wait for you at the palace gate after we go back. Aunt Rong, please take good care of the girl."

Xiaoer nodded to show her understanding: "Dad, be careful on the road."

Aunt Rong was busy and said: "Yes, Lord Marquis."

"Father, let's go to the queen's place quickly." Xiaoer said after seeing Shen Chengyao walking away.

"Please, County Lord!" Eunuch Tong respectfully led the way.

"Eunuch Tong, I haven't talked to the Queen for a long time, let's get together!" A woman wearing a white soft skirt with butterfly sleeves came over.

Xiaoer glanced at her and thought, well, she looked like a white lotus.

"I would like to send my regards to Princess Ling'er." Eunuch Tong's tone was calm, without the respect he had just now.

He is a person who lives by observing words and emotions, and the attitude of his master is his attitude.

Aunt Rong salutes.

Xiao'er is blessed, who makes the princess have a higher rank than her: "Princess Ling'er is blessed."

The princess glanced at Xiaoer with disdain, "No courtesy! Eunuch Tong, let's go!"

Another master who doesn't know how to look at people, Xiaoer started to release Shangguan Xuanyi's aura of keeping strangers away after finishing her salute.

I have been getting along with someone a lot recently, and I have learned all the bad habits about that person.

Xiaoer thinks it's a good thing that she doesn't bother to talk to her. She doesn't bother to talk to people who don't share her interests.

"Princess, please stay. The Queen has invited County Lord Rui'an to come over to discuss something." Eunuch Tong spoke lightly.

"My father-in-law will lead the way, and I will explain it to the Queen." It wasn't that Princess Ling'er didn't understand what Eunuch Tong said, but she saw the Sixth Prince heading towards Kunning Palace, and she also wanted to see her sweetheart.

"Princess, stay! I will tell the Queen that the Princess wants to see the Queen, and the Princess can rest assured and wait for the Queen to summon you. I will take my leave, otherwise I will delay the Queen's business, and no one can afford it!"

"Hmph! The fox is pretending to be the tiger's power!" But she didn't dare to follow him anymore. She still wanted to be the queen's daughter-in-law! What is needed is to gain favor, not to make others dislike you.

It is said that this girl has a very high level of ideological awareness, and it is not easy to know that she is the one who offends others.

Because Princess Ling'er delayed them for some time, Eunuch Tong took Xiaoer and took a slightly remote path straight to Kunning Palace.

After walking for a short distance, Xiaoer heard three Japanese people talking.

They were speaking their own native language. Perhaps they thought no one here could understand them, so they did not lower their voices deliberately.

"Find an opportunity tonight to throw the virus into the well in the palace. Then we will leave here and return to the country immediately!" said the Japanese envoy.

"It's been a few days since the last virus was released in that county, so people are probably starting to get sick!"

"Yes, so we have to leave as soon as possible. The smallpox virus is too powerful and spreads too quickly. We must not get infected, otherwise we will all die outside!"

The other two nodded after hearing this, it was indeed terrible!

When Xiaoer heard the word virus, she immediately signaled the two people around her to stop making any noise.

Her face also changed when she heard the word smallpox!

Smallpox has disappeared in modern times, but in ancient times it was a deadly accomplice of the God of Death.

The infection speed is fast and the mortality rate is high!

The three of them came towards them, and Xiaoer immediately pulled the two of them and hid behind the rockery.

After seeing three Japanese people walking away.

Xiaoer motioned for the two of them to come out, and said in a voice that only three people could hear: "The Japanese want to put a virus into the well in the palace tonight. They have already put a smallpox virus into a certain county. Eunuch Tong, please hurry up." Go and report this to the emperor, we must not let these three people escape."

She and Aunt Rong are both outsiders and cannot walk around the palace at will. Eunuch Tong is the eunuch beside the queen, but it is much more convenient.

When the two heard about the smallpox virus, they were so frightened that they almost screamed!

Xiaoer quickly covered their mouths!

"Mother Rong, go to the queen and tell her that I can't go there first. I have to follow those three people!"

Grandma Rong's mouth was covered and she couldn't speak. She nodded quickly, and then shook her head again!

Eunuch Tong kept nodding.

Xiaoer let go of her hand.

Eunuch Tong ran away.

This thing is so serious, his old bones are so poor that he can't even stop running.

Xiao'er also wanted to run and follow the three Japanese, but was held back by Aunt Rong: "Girl, I'll follow them, but don't go, it's too dangerous! Go to the queen's place!"

The girl is the one who is dear to the master's heart, how could she be allowed to follow those Japanese people? If there is any harm, she will definitely be blamed for her death.

"Don't worry, I won't be discovered by them if I have some skills. I have to keep an eye on them, otherwise I don't know if they will poison me somewhere."

"No, girl..."

"Mommy, this matter is very important, don't wait any longer! You can't do this job. Trust me, nothing will happen to you. Just go!"

After Xiaoer finished speaking, she broke away from Nanny Rong's hand and ran away.

Aunt Rong stamped her feet and hurried to Kunning Palace!

Aunt Rong didn't care about etiquette anymore. When she arrived at Kunning Palace, she wanted to rush in, but she was stopped by the nuns and maids outside.

"Quick, quick, quick..." Grandma Rong ran so fast that she couldn't even speak. She just kept repeating the word "quick".

The nun next to the queen naturally knew Aunt Rong, so she patted her on the back and said calmly, "Aunt Rong, don't worry, you won't be able to explain clearly."

Aunt Rong took a deep breath and spit it out. Although her heart was hurting, she could finally express clearly: "Tell the queen quickly, the Lord of Ruian County is in danger!"
