Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 598

"Crack." A young woman slapped another woman's face with her beautiful hand.

There are many young girls in Shen Kingdom Palace.

So there were more quarrels.

There are always all kinds of friction in the invisible places above.

There are winners and losers.

At this moment, the beating woman looked proud.

"Slapping you is to give you face. If you dare to deliberately stain my clothes again, I will make your whole body dirty."

The girl who hit her belonged to the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Now the court is very clear, and the new show girls almost cover the entire court.

The natural background can be dark or light.

The father of the girl who was beaten was just an official of the Ministry of Rites. Although the position was also very important, it was not as powerful as the other party.

It can be said that this group of show girls has encountered the worst time.

The emperor just looked at them once and didn't express anything.

Originally, they thought that the Queen's appearance was said to be very ordinary, and if such a thing happened to the imperial concubine, they would have a chance no matter what.

But I don't want to see such a situation after entering the palace.

It's like a nest of worms fighting together. At first, someone took care of them, but now they don't even have people to take care of them.

From the beginning, some people had diarrhea and were sent away, but yesterday someone was seriously poisoned and passed out. "

Empress Dowager Zhao didn't care about these things, she just cared about their fighting.

But he is very interested in their affairs every day, and he has to listen to the report from the nanny.

as a pastime.

Empress Dowager Zhao seemed to like hearing this very much. The fights of young girls are always a little superficial, and then they start to be vicious.

Empress Dowager Zhao's windows still faced north.

There are no chrysanthemums in Fengyuan, but there are peonies in the greenhouse. She likes peonies.

She will still look north.

It takes a long time to look at it.

But now no longer hot springs.

Sometimes I look to the south.

Most of the time, they actually went for a walk in the original Xihe Palace.

Looking at the rows of plane trees in a daze.

The leaves are falling.

The sycamore tree is bare, but the branches are much thicker than before, and they have grown up again.

It seems that many, many years have passed.

……

"Snapped."

The chess pieces made of iron and wood hit the iron and wood chessboard, making the sound of metal impact.

Because the weather is getting colder.

Unlike previous years where the days were sunny every day, this year it was always cloudy.

Cold and cold, with occasional wind, sandwiched with rain and snow.

So the pavilion in front of the cliff can't stay.

In fact, it’s okay if you have to stay. The rich people enjoy the snow, and they always have a charcoal stove in the pavilion. The face feels the cold of the snow, but the whole body is actually warm, but this is extremely wasteful.

Jing country is currently in short supply of all kinds of materials.

Although it was not to the point of shortening the emperor's expenses, Emperor Jing still moved the place where he played chess to the quiet room.

The quiet room is not big, and not many charcoal stoves are needed.

The two copper pipes in the quiet room were polished to a shiny finish, and besides that, there was an extra painting, which was said to have been drawn by the old monk who presided over the holy temple before his death.

Anyway, here it is.

What is painted is landscape.

There is a point in the misty landscape.

Kind of like a person, maybe a tree, or a rock.

In the quiet room, only Emperor Jing and Prince Yun would come in before, but now there is another big witch, Chongyan.

The two sat cross-legged on the futon, with a chessboard in the middle on a small table.

The game is Go.

Jinghuang's chess skills are very good, and Heavy Smoke's calculation skills are very good. When playing chess, they are still evenly matched.

Often times like this, playing chess is the most interesting, you come and go, there are winners and losers.

It feels like a long time since Prince Yun left.

The days are getting longer every day, because Emperor Jing's body is getting more uncomfortable every day.

However, Emperor Jing's expression is very calm, he handles some political affairs every day, and even has free time to play chess.

The heavy smoke has come to Jing country for a while, and I am not used to the climate here, it is too cold, Jingcheng is much colder than Xicheng, especially this year is not as cold as in previous years, but it is slightly better in the palace, at least There is no shortage of charcoal stoves, and warm clothes are also available, but I am a little shivering when I move, because it is too cold, and I don’t want to go out for activities.

In the past, Heavy Smoke has always been mainly vegetarian. When he came here, he learned to eat beef and mutton. One or two catties of large pieces of meat may be too cold and consume a lot. He was a little surprised that he could finish it in one meal. .

But in the past few days, the heavy smoke has been a bit unappetizing, because he went out with Ku Muchun a few days ago, and also visited the holy temple in Jingcheng, but he didn't want to see the people in the city scrambling for a piece of meat. It flew out, what that piece of meat looked like, heavy smoke didn't dare to recall.

It just felt like someone was gnawing on a finger.

In the past few days, whenever he ate meat, he felt like retching.

"You're going to lose." Emperor Jing said suddenly.

Chong Yan looked at the chessboard, indeed, it seemed that he was about to lose, in things like Go, if he was distracted a little bit, he might lose.

It's a bit like life, and a bit like it.

If you lose in chess, you can come back, but life is gone.

Chong Yan tried hard to concentrate, and took a few more steps, as if he was turning the tide all at once, feeling like he was about to win.

Emperor Jing was not in a hurry, but continued to walk slowly.

A move of chess seems to take a while to think about.

Chatting while playing chess.

The two actually didn't have much in common, and most of them were spoken by Emperor Jing himself.

Perhaps he himself expected it to be the end of his life. He didn't like to talk before, but recently he talked a lot.

In front of a strange teenager.

"By the way, when I was in the wilderness back then, I had heard rumors about the Goddess. Why did you have no news about your junior sister when you arrived in Xi Country? I always feel a little regretful. I thought I would hear many legends."

Chong Yan made a move, and then said: "There is no news about the younger sister in Xiguo, but there is news about Emperor Xi. It is said that the new emperor understands righteousness, handles all matters in the court in an orderly manner, and gradually returns to power. Chaotang, among the Three Kingdoms, speaking of it, the country with the best development is the Xi Kingdom."

Jing Huang smiled and said: "Do you want to say that these are the credits of your junior sister?"

Chong Yan shook her head: "I don't want her to be the credit, in fact she is also a very lazy girl, but she has a greater sense of responsibility."

"You are really going to lose." Emperor Jing made another move.

The result of the whole chess game is already clear.

"As long as you talk about your junior sister, you will lose, haven't you noticed?" Emperor Jing smiled, even a little proud.

Looking at the chessboard, I was suddenly a little annoyed: "I have been away for so long, and there is no news from Ayun. I'm afraid it's not good. I'm worried that I won't be able to wait for him to come back. If he hasn't come back, you can follow my request. .”

Jing Huang wanted to stand up, but he wobbled and couldn't get up.

He just looked at the chessboard and smiled, "It's great to win."

……

Day two.

Emperor Jing never got up again.

The game won was not withdrawn.

Still in the quiet room.

There is a long memorial under the chessboard.

The weather is fine.

When he opened his mouth to speak, he still breathed out a burst of white mist.

On this day, white flags were hung in the holy temple.

It's snowing in Shencheng.

In Xicheng, the queen returned to the palace.
