After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 134 An Niang’s charm remains the same as before
The queen smiled lightly: "I haven't touched a sword for a long time. I am unfamiliar with swordsmanship, so I won't show off in front of you. However, the female officer in my palace has been practicing swordsmanship diligently day and night, so let her show it off."

She gestured to the female officer behind her and said, "Bai Zhi, go ahead."

Bai Zhi served the Queen when she was seven or eight years old, and learned swordsmanship from the Queen. During those years when the Queen and the Emperor joined hands to conquer the world, Bai Zhi took charge of her own work, pulling up a women's army and made a lot of achievements.

Later, when the world was settled and the queen entered the palace, Bai Zhi took off her military uniform and went into the palace to accompany the queen to protect her safety.

But her swordsmanship never failed.

Bai Zhi walked down the steps and saluted Cheng Qiniang, "Can I borrow the girl's sword?"

Cheng Qiniang felt that the queen was really insulting her, so she asked the maid next to her to give her an example.

But in full view of everyone, she couldn't refuse, so she deliberately showed off her power and threw the sword in her hand towards Bai Zhi.

If Bai Zhi can't catch it, it will be embarrassing.

Unfortunately, her plan failed, as Bai Zhi easily caught the sword she threw.

The moment she held the sword, Bai Zhi's aura changed, from being described as a dignified, restrained and polite female officer of the queen, to a powerful and high-spirited female general on the battlefield!
The sword is like a dragon rising out of the sea, and the light is like thunder gathering its wrath.

Everywhere he passed, there was no one who could not be moved and frightened by it!
This is a swordsmanship learned from the mountains of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. It is a swordsmanship that truly kills people. Every move carries a compelling momentum that makes people hold their breath.

When she finally stopped, Bai Zhi responded to Cheng Qiniang, and the tip of the sword suddenly touched her neck. If she moved forward even an inch, her blood would be splattered on the spot.

Cheng Qiniang stepped back in shock, but unexpectedly her legs gave out and she fell to the ground.

Bai Zhi held a sword flower, calmly put away the sword, stretched out her hand to help her up, and returned the sword.

Cheng Qiniang's face was pale and she couldn't utter a word. She knew that her family was completely defeated today.

The rest of the people in the hall were also speechless for a moment. They were all still immersed in the shocking swordsmanship just now.

After a long time, someone finally spoke up, and everyone in the hall started talking in low voices.

The song and dance performances that had been interrupted were resumed, and the atmosphere returned to a festive and lively atmosphere.

"At first I thought the Cheng family's Qiniang's sword dance was good, but after watching Miss Bai Zhi's sword dance, I realized what real swordsmanship is!"

"It's so refreshing and sparkling like stars! It makes me want to dance with a sword."

"Compared with Miss Bai Zhi's sword dance, Cheng's Qiniang's sword dance is indeed as soft as a child's!"

"The Empress is being conservative. If she were to face a master of swordsmanship like Bai Zhi, the seventh mother of the Cheng family might not be able to withstand a single move, and she would be beheaded in the face of her."

"Not to mention Cheng Qiniang, how many of us can withstand it?"

Originally, some ministers wanted to imitate the Cheng family and push their daughters to perform in order to win the emperor's favor.

What if the emperor takes a fancy to it?Then his family will be able to achieve great success, and the next emperor may even come from his family!

However, after the Cheng family was disgraced and disgraced, those ministers who had been thinking about it suddenly gave up their thoughts.

There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons around the Queen. If their daughter is also slapped in the face by the Queen's people, it will be more of a loss than a gain.

It's better to figure it out slowly.

In the middle of the banquet, the little princess's head moved a little bit, and she was obviously sleepy.

So the emperor left the ministers in the palace, carried the little princess back to the bedroom, and coaxed her to sleep.

If the emperor ran away, the queen couldn't also run away, right?He could only stay to support the situation.

The emperor did not come back until the banquet was over, and the queen left the scene gracefully. As soon as she was out of everyone's sight, she hurried to the palace.

Except for Bai Zhi, the rest of the palace servants could not keep up and could only trot to catch up.

After returning to the palace, the queen lifted the curtain and stepped into the inner room, "Your Majesty, you——"

The emperor hurriedly turned around and made a "shh" gesture to her, and whispered: "I just put Wanwan to sleep, please keep your voice down."

The queen almost laughed angrily. His words made her seem like a stepmother. He was her biological father and he loved Wanwan.She slowed down her pace and came to the fire bed.

I saw my daughter sleeping on it, with her two chubby arms and most of her body exposed, and only her belly was covered with a thin quilt.

The pink face is covered with fine and fluffy fetal hair, which looks like two plump and juicy peaches, and it seems that juice will flow out if you pinch it lightly.

The queen couldn't help but caressed her daughter's forehead with love and affection in her eyes. She felt the moist sweat and wiped it with her handkerchief.

"Why is the fire bed so hot? Wan'er is even sweating."

Emperor: "Aren't I afraid that Wanwan will be cold?"

He turned around and ordered Jiang Hai, the eunuch who was serving him closely: "Let them change the fire to a small fire. Don't burn it so fiercely that it will heat up Wanwan."

Jiang Hai bowed in response and went out to give orders.

The couple stayed by the kang and stared at their daughter for a long time.

The queen got up and changed into plain clothes, then took the sword that she had not touched for a long time, went to the yard, and started practicing.

Between the moonlight and the snow, the queen practicing swordsmanship is as graceful as a dragon and as graceful as a startling giant, which makes people unable to take their eyes away.

The emperor stood on the steps with his hands behind his hands, staring intently.

When the queen sheathed her sword and stood still, the emperor clapped his hands and said, "An Niang's grace is still the same as before."

The queen took the handkerchief handed over by Bai Zhi and wiped her sweat. She took off her complicated and heavy palace clothes and practiced her sword happily. She felt much better both physically and mentally.

"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down, don't wake up Wan'er."

Emperor: "..." Is An Niang returning what he said before?

Seeing the queen practicing her sword, the emperor couldn't help but feel itchy and asked Jiang Hai to get his sword.

"An Niang, we haven't sparred for a long time. How about taking advantage of this beautiful scenery and you and me to have a fight?"

The Queen responded by drawing her sword directly at him.

The emperor said loudly: "Well done!"

He raised his sword and went up to meet him.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Dayong entered the third year of Jingyu.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor led his ministers to hold the New Year's Eve Ceremony.

The music in the hall is solemn, and the gold and silver Boshan furnace is burning incense. The fragrance is faint and distant, refreshing and pleasant, which is very different from ordinary spices.

After the ceremony, the emperor came to the Boshan furnace, stood with his hands behind his hands, and asked the officials with a smile: "Do you know what kind of incense is burning in this furnace today?"

Everyone answered one after another, some said sandalwood, some said agarwood, and some said dipterocarp.

All in all, they are expensive spices.

The emperor shook his head, still shaking his head.

Left Prime Minister: "Your Majesty, we really can't guess it right. You'd better stop pretending."

The emperor laughed loudly and looked quite proud: "I know that none of you can guess that this incense was made by the queen herself. It is made from the sun-dried peels of four kinds of fruits: pear, apple, lychee and orange.

"These four kinds of peels are often discarded by people, but the Queen's clever mind turned them into treasures and made these four discarded incense.

"Everyone in the world thinks that the more expensive the spices, the better. I heard that some people made the four famous fragrances of ashes, sandalwood, dragon and musk into a combined incense and named it 'Sihe incense'."

When saying this, the emperor glanced at Cui Xiang and almost called him by name.

Cui Xiang: "..." Feeling the gazes from his colleagues, his face trembled.

But the emperor didn't say it clearly. Could he still stand up and deny it?
