The cute master who always attacks the queen

Chapter 166 Queen's Birthday, Concubine Yun Gives Gifts.

The imperial concubine was wearing a satin padded coat with a pink begonia pattern and a big red crepe cotton skirt, sitting on the kang, Yun'er and the eunuch each led a few maids and eunuchs standing beside them, kneeling at the feet of a group of black girls, all in the The servant of the Moon Palace, the Imperial Concubine Yuehuang picked up a copper spoon to scoop up a spoonful of sandalwood and added it to the blue and white chrysanthemum-patterned stove, and the hall was filled with a depressing fragrance.Yun'er stood by the edge of the kang, holding a small lacquered tea tray and a small pastel clock in the tray. She didn't pick up the tea, didn't look up, she just picked the ashes in the stove, and asked slowly: Are you all here?" "Return to Master, all are here." The eunuch counted the number of people. "En" I nodded and glanced at Yun'er, Yun'er knowingly led a few maids to the side hall.

The Yuehuang noble concubine glanced at the people underground, and slowly said: "Do you remember the last time Xinfei concubine had a miscarriage?" The lowered people listened, and lowered their heads even lower. The imperial concubine took the tea, her tone As indifferent as an innocuous bystander, the spies tipped me off: Zi'er's family has been wiped out, but unfortunately, the perpetrators had clean hands and feet, and no clues were found.As soon as the words came out, I could clearly see that almost all the people in the underground trembled, and the eyes of a few timid maids suddenly turned red. "The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooking, have you heard of it?" The Yuehuang noble concubine took a sip of hot tea and sneered: "Don't think that betraying the master can gain anything, but you must know that the master is down, and you are just bereaved dogs. The Royal Concubine Yuehuang paused: "How does this palace treat you usually? "The eunuch knelt down and led the crowd to kowtow: "Master has always been kind to his slaves. "At this time, Yun'er led the maids back, and each of them came in with a hollowed-out carved wooden lacquer plate. , I will naturally not treat you badly.These things will be rewarded to you. "I waved my hand, and Yun'er and the others put the lacquer plate in front of everyone. The plate full of gold, jewellery, silk satin, and glazed colored stones shone dazzlingly, and everyone's face seemed to be covered with a layer of dream. Everyone stared at those things in astonishment. After a long while, the eunuch who was the first to react kowtowed: "The slave thanked the master for his generous reward, and the slave swore to be loyal to the master to the death! "The rest of the people also kowtowed one after another, "I swear to be loyal to my master to the death." "I looked at it with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on my lips: "As long as you do well, there will be rewards in the future, but——" The Yuehuang noble concubine stretched out her voice, and slammed the table with a loud bang, almost gnashing her teeth Said: "If anyone in the future dares to frame the master like Zi'er, I will definitely destroy him all over the house! "

The whole room could only hear Concubine Xin's high-pitched voice, perhaps because my expression at that moment was too ferocious, the whole room suddenly became quiet.After a long while, they kowtowed again and said, "I dare not!" The imperial concubine smiled with satisfaction, and told the eunuch, "Take these things down and distribute them equally to everyone." The eunuch quickly agreed, and led everyone to leave. go out.

After finishing these things, I suddenly felt tired, lying on the jade-colored gauze pillow filled with hibiscus petals, silently looking at the flying paintings on the ceiling, I just felt that the world was spinning, and those beautiful and delicate fairies seemed to have turned into hideous The monster was about to pounce on me, and I broke out in a cold sweat. "Master, it's time to use medicine." Yun'er brought over the Jinsha Langen juice boiled by Jiupin Limu.Yun'er helped me up, I managed to pick a little bit with my nails, wiped it on my nostrils, I felt a hot and sour rush to my forehead, couldn't help but sneezed a few times in a row, Yun'er handed over a piece of thin paper, and I I wiped my nose one by one, and when I looked closely, I saw dark brown spots dotted on the paper.I told Yun'er: "I will ask someone to burn all these papers later." Yun'er agreed.When I turned around, I found tears in the eyes of the maid next to me, and said with a smile, "Are you sad for Zi'er?" Yun'er didn't want me to ask her like this, and thought I would punish her, so she quickly knelt on the ground: "Slave maid I'm rude, master forgive me." I smiled and asked Yun'er to help her up: "Silly girl, will you really blame you if you become my palace? If so, why should I send someone to bury her family? What I said just now was just to intimidate other people." Yun'er laughed through her tears when she heard it: "The servant knows that the master is the most merciful." "Okay, stop flattering" I laughed, "I know that she has always been loyal , if someone hadn’t forced her, she wouldn’t have done this. So I secretly ordered Master Yuwen to go to her hometown to check—” Speaking of this, my complexion became gloomy, and I sighed: “Sure enough, her parents It was killed by a group of unknown people a month ago." "Hmph, it's nothing more than these masters fighting openly and secretly, why do they have to drag us slaves into the water? It's really cruel." Yun'er stomped her feet angrily. "That's right!" Yun'er wiped her tears with her head down holding a handkerchief. She and Zi'er entered the palace at the same time, and they both worked in the Moon Palace, so their relationship was naturally deeper than others.

"Master, I have something to do, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Yun'er looked at me red-eyed.I smiled: "There are no outsiders here, but you can say it's okay." Yun'er blessed her first, and then said: "Actually, on the first day Zi'er died, she gave a small brocade box to the maidservant and asked the maidservant to collect it for her." Seeing the preciousness of the box, the servant thought it was a gift from the master, and didn’t think of going anywhere else. Now that I think about it, Zi’er looked weird that day, and it seemed a little…” Just now when I said this, my heart suddenly brightened, and I hurriedly said to Yun'er said: "Go and get the box!" Seeing my strange expression, Yun'er probably knew the seriousness of the matter, so she hurried to the servant's room.He came back not long after, holding a purple satin brocade box in his hand, and I knew it was definitely not from the Moon Palace.I took it with trembling hands, and opened it carefully, only to see this earring lying quietly on the yellow silk surface inside. "Ah, master, this is polished with suet-frozen chicken-blood stone," Yun'er said, looking at the pendant in surprise.I looked at her suspiciously: "How do you know this is frozen bloodstone from suet?" Yun'er's face flushed slightly: "I have seen the seals of the late queen's bloodstone from suet in the palace before, and the material is exactly the same as this one. This kind of colored stone is precious and rare, and it is a tribute from Ouchi." I looked at the pendant carefully, and it was really transparent and round, giving people a particularly fresh and tender feeling, coupled with bright red blood, the red and white are set off, it can be called "hao Red lips, complementing each other", the imperial concubine thought to herself: As long as I can find out the owner of this pendant, I will know who poisoned me. The jewelry that the concubine in the harem once wore appeared in my mind and filtered, but there was no one. The pieces are bloodstone.I don’t know if it’s because I’m thinking too much, or the lingering poison is not clear, I just feel like my head is about to split open. I stood up angrily and walked to the window. ’ dripped down the table and onto the floor.

Outside the window, a twilight crow was standing on the top of a tree. Seeing someone approaching, it screamed "quack" and flew into the night sky. A black down feather fluttered down.I looked at the ghostly corner of the palace in the distance, the flickering lights: the queen, Yan Ziqiao... and that mysterious figure, how many people are hiding in the dark trying to plot against me?

Today is the queen's birthday, and the palace has been really busy a few days earlier. There are lights and festoons everywhere, and the queen is always simple. In addition, this year is not a whole life, so I specially ordered that no big celebrations be allowed and only a few tables will be set up at home. Banquet, family reunion, but according to the usual practice, the imperial concubine, the noble concubine, and all the concubines will go to Kunning Palace to celebrate the queen's birthday.

The imperial concubine doesn't like this kind of crowded place, especially since the last poisoning incident, I feel more and more that everyone is wearing a hypocritical mask, and I don't know what malicious thoughts are hidden under the smiling face.However, people can't help themselves in the palace, and they still have to socialize on important occasions like today.

The queen doesn't like the concubines in the harem to be too coquettish, so I specially chose a dress with pearl white embroidered pink water lilies. The collar, cuffs and corners of the skirt are decorated with pink ribbons, and the waist is tied with a jasper pendant and double-knotted silk ribbon , her jet-black hair was simply pulled into a bun with a cloud, and the hairpin was inlaid with a precious gold hairpin. She was smart and elegant without losing her sense of beauty. She was dressed properly.As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I heard people's voices buzzing.The little eunuch said: "The imperial concubine is here!"

Walking into the Kunning Palace, the inside is full of strange fragrances, and all kinds of rare antiques are shining brightly, presumably they are gifts from concubines.The queen sat on the phoenix seat in front of six screens carved with carved lacquer clouds and dragons made of mahogany.I walked to the queen's seat like a weak willow supporting the wind: "The concubine pays homage to the queen, the queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" The personal maid helped the imperial concubine to her side, and took my hand to look up and down kindly, "If you go back to the queen, the concubine is almost ready," I replied delicately. "Well, I see that you have lost weight, and you need to take care of yourself in the future." The queen patted my hand kindly.I hurriedly saluted and said: "My concubine, thank the queen for your care!" "No, no, today's family banquet, there is no need to be too polite," the queen laughed. "Yes, sister. If you are weak, please sit down." The queen also said caringly. I glanced at her smiling face, and the green crystal tassels on her temples shone in the sunlight.When it was bright, it looked like teardrops that were about to fall, and when it was dark, it looked like a bruise. I sneered in my heart, but my face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Empress, for your concern!" Sitting down on the mahogany chair made of red flowered chairs, Concubine De, dressed in plain clothes, nodded slightly towards me.

Empress, look, this is an agate flower basket specially prepared by my concubine for you. It is pure in texture and well carved. You like it. "Ru'er on the side smiled and snuggled up to the queen, acting coquettishly.

I like it, I like it, the gift from Concubine Yun is really a treasure, I can't put it down, I will give you a big reward." The Queen said with a smile. "Thank you, Queen.As long as the queen likes it, the concubine will get the greatest reward. "Concubine Yun pretended to be shy, Concubine Yun clearly saw a trace of disdain in the Queen's eyes. "Hehe, Concubine Yun, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.

　Second more.
