Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 1

In the first year of Tianque, Tiancheng.


The flowers fade and the red green apricots are small.When the swallows, green water around people.


A heavy snowfall fell on the first day of the new year, and the city was full of snow, dancing like catkins.

The cold weather, which was originally a good time for the recovery of all things, was frozen into the sea of ​​snow.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, there is snow.

Everyone in Tianque lamented that this year's spring would not come early.


On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the God of Wealth Day in the Tianque Kingdom, the people went to the market, making the street market that had been cold for several days suddenly lively like a tide.

Suddenly, groups of swallows passed over the heads of the people on the street like a big dark cloud, and flew straight to a house on the north side of the street.


"Look, there are so many swallows!"

"My God, this is really a good omen! Swallow Laixiang, our Tianque will surely be safe and prosperous this year.".

"Yes, swallows are my auspicious birds. So many swallows flying together, there must be something auspicious."

Someone in the crowd was the first to exclaim, and many people excitedly followed the direction of the swallow and rushed away
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In Yunfu, bright red lanterns are hung high, and the red couplets on both sides are beautifully written, like clouds and brocades, which makes people feel warm.

The servants were busy in an orderly manner. The wives, ladies and young masters of each court would go shopping and come back to eat from time to time, and the master was about to go down. Only the third lady of Xiyuan stayed in the mansion, playing with her flowers and plants.


It's strange to say that this year's spring snow came suddenly, and the weather was colder than in previous years; but the third lady's Xiyuan was full of flowers, as if a hundred flowers were blooming.


Those who don't know, think it's the gods living in Xiang's mansion; but the servants who know know that it's Miss San's ingenuity. Every year when winter comes, she puts up a greenhouse for flowers and plants and covers them with hay.

As soon as the snow falls, the third lady can tell whether the snow is over or if the snow is waiting for her, and then she and her maid, Bitao, clean up the flower stands, so that the flowers in the garden can herald spring early.


This is not

"Miss, this year's peonies seem to be blooming more beautifully than in previous years, and they are even better than the peach blossoms that should be in full bloom this season." The delicate little girl in a blue floral jacket looked here and there , and finally stopped in front of a golden peony, with amazed eyes.


"Peach is a tree, and peony is a flower. The flower is warm, but the tree is cold-resistant. Therefore, in the face of a temperature that is warmer than the outside temperature, the peony blooms more than the peach blossom." A clear but heart-pounding voice , came from behind Bitao.


Yun Qing came to the peony flower, smiled and looked at this pot of golden peonies that bloomed very brightly, with a satisfied expression.

The hard work over the years has not been in vain, her hundred garden is indeed protected by her so that it is as warm as spring.


As soon as she turned her head, Bi Tao's eyes inevitably jumped.

Miss willow eyebrows and almond eyes, onion nose like jade, cherry lips like dandelion, her fair face under the soft sunlight, seems to have a kind of attractiveness, always easy to dazzle people's eyes.


At this time, she was dressed in snow-white fox fur and stood among the red and green flowers in the garden, resigned from the world and independent, clear and ethereal.

If Betao hadn't recognized her young lady early on, she would have been suspicious of her eyes and mistakenly thought that a fairy had come.


"I guess, it's probably that Miss' luck this year is about to come true. Didn't the master invite the Taoist priest to tell Miss's fortune? Miss is the head of all flowers, the life of the golden phoenix. This golden peony represents the king of flowers , this year it blooms the most, and that young lady may really be a queen this year." Bi Tao was overjoyed, her eyes were full of happy smiles for her young lady.


"Don't talk nonsense!" The man who was smiling just now frowned immediately, and stopped Bitao's nonsense with a voice: "These charlatan warlocks say nothing, and Bitao shouldn't take it seriously.".


"But, Master is very happy." Bi Tao was about to refute unconvinced, but suddenly heard a strange voice.

He raised his head, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, his tongue became knotted and he could no longer utter a sound.


I saw a large group of black swallows rushing to the top of the head, hovering over the Xiyuan Garden for a long time.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The next day, everyone was talking about the never-famous Sanqianjin in the Chancellor's Mansion, who was born under the care of a fairy. She lived in a fairyland on earth, and she had the magical ability to make a hundred flowers bloom in the icy and snowy weather.


Many people even witnessed with their own eyes that in her hundred gardens, hundreds of auspicious swallows were attracted, making the entire Tianque Kingdom peaceful.

And the reason why she has been hiding in the prime minister's mansion and almost never goes out is because her fairy appearance is afraid of being seen by the world, so the servants deliberately spread her ordinary talent and appearance, in order not to be noticed by the world.


Ever since, rumors started to spread; one spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and some people witnessed it with their own eyes, and it became an attributive statement that Yunqing, the daughter of Xiangfu, was a prosperous country.

It was even rumored that a Taoist once believed that Miss Yunqing would be a golden phoenix in the future, and she would be the Queen of Destiny in the mighty Heavenly Kingdom!

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Yunfu received a decree from the Empress Dowager Tianque, canonizing Yun Qing, the third daughter of Yun Xiangyun Tianhai, as Queen Tianque, and married the emperor three days later!
For a while, there was an endless stream of congratulatory people in front of the gate of Yunfu, almost breaking through the prime minister's threshold.
