"Ah."
The girl opened her eyes.
Mu Nanfeng also opened his eyes, but what followed was excited laughter, "Fall down, fall down, haha~ Let's see if she can continue to pretend to sleep!"
"Snapped--"
The huge wooden barrel above the field of vision overturned, and a stream of water fell from the sky. It was turbid, yellow, and smelly swill, which rushed straight into Mu Nanfeng's cheek.
24. Beautiful skin, beautiful bones
"Snapped--"
There was no time to react. The girl in gray was lying on the bed and was soaked through. The foul-smelling swill filled the entire bed. The yellow and turbid water flowed along the edge of the bed all the way to the ground. "Bang——", the wooden barrel fell to the ground.
Looking at the dazed girl who opened her eyes, the round-faced girl who splashed water hurriedly said, "She's awake, she's awake, let's go!"
Bang, bang, bang, bang. Four or five girls ran out of the house laughing, dancing and singing happily, "Beauty's skin, beauty's bones, pretty but a tiger. Kills the father, harms the mother, and won't spit out the kernel when it catches the child."
"Bang--"
Unfortunately, before the round-faced girl who splashed water could run far, she was hit on the back by a stick. "Bang!" She flew out with a stiff smile, hit the pillar hard, spitting blood from her mouth, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Xia Yuanjun stood there in confusion, wondering what was wrong with him? Why did his body move on its own?
"Don't think about it, it's my teacher's fault."
The master's voice rang in her ears, "Hurry up, it's your turn now, give that brat a beating."
Mu Nanfeng was no longer a good boy who respected the elderly and loved the young. He looked at the round-faced girl lying on the ground groaning in the distance and just wanted to hit her with a few more sticks to let her know what real bullying was!
Xia Yuanjun glanced at the girl on the ground who had splashed her swill, pursed her lips, and shook her head, "Forget it... forget it, let it be."
"..."
Mu Nanfeng was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Xiaojun, this is the imperial palace. If you don't act ruthlessly, what will you do when your master leaves in a few days?"
Although fighting violence with violence is not advisable, sometimes it is indeed the most effective way.
"what?"
Xia Yuanjun was stunned, "Master, are you leaving?"
"..."
Ah, this...I let it slip...
He originally wanted to leave after explaining the Immortal Scripture to Xia Yuanjun, and then reset the Nine Phoenix Stone. For him, perhaps only a few seconds had passed, but for Xia Yuanjun, it was several years. By that time, Xia Yuanjun must have already learned the first scripture.
Simply perfect!
"despair--"
At this moment, Xia Yuanjun silently picked up the wooden stick on the ground, listened carefully for the direction, and then walked towards the round-faced girl. She bit her lip slightly, swung the wooden stick and prepared to beat up the girl who had bullied her for many years.
"Don't! Don't hit me!"
The round-faced girl didn't understand why Xia Yuanjun suddenly became a different person. It was a little scary, but now was not the time to think too much. Blood was flowing from her lips and mouth, and she moved back in fear. "I...I was wrong! Xia Yuanjun! Sister Qunguang and Her Highness Wu told me to do this!"
"Bang!!!"
The wooden stick fell and hit the floor beside the round-faced girl's cheek. Xia Yuanjun closed his eyes and said, "Go away."
The round-faced girl was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she quickly rolled up and ran away.
When the girls who were watching from the outside saw the round-faced girl finally come out, their frightened expressions gradually relaxed.
But they were still a little annoyed with their cowardice just now, so they gave Xia Yuanjun in the house a little finger, made faces and stuck out their tongues, and then ran away, continuing to sing a melodious tune in unison.
"Beauty's skin, beauty's bones, beautiful but actually a tiger. Kills the father, harms the mother, and won't spit out the seeds when catching a child..."
The singing faded away.
This is a doggerel poem that came from Beiqinzhou. The beauties in the poem refer to those ghost babies who killed their mothers as soon as they were born.
In this world, babies born need to absorb the mother's Yin energy. Generally speaking, the more Yin energy is needed, the higher the child's talent for cultivation will be, and the greater the chance of being a girl.
But if the mother's yin energy is completely sucked away during the childbirth process, the mother will directly pass away and return to heaven.
In the end, if the child is still born successfully, he will be called a ghost baby by others.
Most of these babies who have absorbed too much Yin energy are handsome and intelligent, and most of them are eccentric and unsociable.
Amidst some rumors that the biological fathers of the ghost babies are either dead or in bad circumstances, there are also terrifying rumors among the people that the ghost babies like to eat children.
So unknowingly, the above doggerel came into being.
In addition to some adults using this to describe the horror of ghost babies and telling their children not to play with them, some children also use this limerick to ridicule and bully those children who are good-looking or whose biological fathers or mothers have had accidents.
For example, Xia Yuanjun. Since she was born, Di Siqing's realm has plummeted and he has been in seclusion for many years. Perhaps because of this reason, Xia Yuanjun is not well received in the palace.
And yesterday, her biological father hanged himself in Xuanning Palace...
Killing the father and harming the mother, all confirmed, the only thing missing is eating the children...
Seeing Xia Yuanjun's gloomy expression, as if he was affected by the doggerel, Mu Nanfeng asked, "So, do you really eat children?"
The girl was startled, as if she had been hit hard, and murmured softly, "Master...Master..."
"Alright, alright, can't you tell I'm joking? Really, you don't really think you killed your father and caused Emperor Si Qing to fall in realm? Only an idiot like you would believe that you could cause a powerful God-combined master to fall in realm, right?"
"......"
The girl pouted and muttered, "Xiaojun is not an idiot..."
"Okay, now, change your clothes and go find that... Qun Guang, the girl with yellow hair from yesterday."
"Ah? What are you looking for her for?"
"What? She stole your top-grade spirit stone, so why don't you take it back? Besides, it was left to you by your father, right?"
"But... But Huang Qun is only at the eighth level of foundation building, and I am only at the second level..."
"Do you think your teacher is just for free? Come on, hurry up, can you show some courage?"
"Oh..."
"Change your clothes! Change your clothes! Are you going to leave like this smelling so bad?"
"Huh? Oh..."
......
"But Master, men and women should not touch each other. When I am bathing and changing clothes, can you..."
"Shut up! I know it naturally and I don't need you to remind me! I'm not a pervert!"
"Oh..."
......
Soon, the girl came out of the house smelling sweet, but she was still wearing a tattered gray shirt, which made Mu Nanfeng frown.
Sometimes clothes are really important. Wearing clothes like this will inevitably give people the impression that you are easy to bully.
What's more, you are going to show off to your enemy, so you have to wear decent clothes.
But there really aren't any beautiful clothes to wear in her closet. Looking at her shabby appearance, she's living worse than a palace maid.
This is actually inevitable. He Shiren lives in seclusion in the cold palace all year round. The Shangyijian will give them some leftover scraps from other servants at the beginning of the year at most.
Mu Nanfeng controlled Xia Yuanjun's body, poured a pile of clothes onto the bed, then picked up a pair of scissors and started cutting them randomly.
"Eh? Master, what are you doing..."
Mu Nanfeng ignored her and asked, "What color do you like?"
As a macho man with extremely high aesthetic standards, isn't it a very simple thing for me to make a piece of clothing myself?
"Ah? Colors, I...I don't have a favorite color..."
"Say one."
"Pink...pink?"
"No, it's too sexy, change it."
"Well, I don't really have a favorite color, or...
Any color is fine...eh? Yes, Master, then colorful ones are fine. I want clothes in the colors of the rainbow."
"Ok?"
Mu Nanfeng stood there in a daze.
"Master, what's wrong? Is it not okay?"
"No, nothing... Caiyi, right? I just had an idea..."
25. God's Second Technique
The Cold Palace is also called the Hongning Palace. It used to be the residence of the female officials in red in the palace. Later, because the Hongning Palace was too far away from the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Siqing ordered the female officials in red to live directly in the back court of his own palace to facilitate the issuance of his orders.
Because of this, the status of the female official in red gradually rose unknowingly, and then she was called the Big Red Official.
After that, the deserted Hongning Palace became the residence of some servants who annoyed the king. It was located at the northernmost end of the entire imperial palace and was sparsely populated.
At this moment, the sun was about to set in the west, and a young girl quietly walked out from a side door of Hongning Palace.
She was dressed in a colorful dress with rainbow-colored light flowing on it, so dazzling that it seemed to overshadow the neon sunset in the sky.
"Hold your head high, stand tall, can you be more confident?"
"Master...Master, isn't this a little too eye-catching?"
"It's better to be eye-catching. From now on, you will be the most beautiful girl in the palace."
"But Xiaojun doesn't want to be a pretty... boy..."
"Are you sure? Well, then go back and put on that gray dress and become Cinderella again. I won't stop you."
"Hmm~"
The girl in colorful clothes pursed her lips and looked down at her gorgeous colorful clothes. In her sight, everything was mottled blocks of color, but this was the first time she saw colorful lights on her body. These lights formed a blurred outline with beautiful and soft lines.
That silhouette was her, looking much brighter and prettier than before, and she...liked herself like this.
Thinking about it, she looked up and said firmly, "Master, I don't want to be Cinderella."
"Then hurry up, the first step is to get back your crystal slippers!"
*
"Why did you come here?"
Xia Yuanjun walked through the cold and long courtyard and came to a dense forest northwest of Hongning Palace.
Hearing her master's doubts, she said, "Huang Qunguang would sneak here every time after school at the Imperial College, and do...some shameful things..."
"Embarrassing?"
Before Mu Nanfeng could express his doubts, a faint groaning sound came from the depths of the dense forest.
"..."
The girl in colorful clothes listened to the sound and determined the location. She moved forward quietly, bent down, lay down under a bush, and quietly pushed aside the dense leaves.
"Master, did you see it?" she asked in her heart.
"..."
Mu Nanfeng looked at it carefully for a while and expressed his disappointment. It was just a man and a woman bathing by the lake... He thought it was something else.
However, there was one thing that surprised him. The man seemed to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, while the blonde girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, a whole head shorter.
terrible.
"Bitch! You can't even rub my back? What's the use of you?" The blonde girl kicked the man hard in the face and pushed him directly into the lake.
After a while, the fair-looking man finally climbed out of the lake, knelt beside the girl, lowered his eyebrows and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I'm sorry, Master."
Mu Nanfeng: "......"
"Huang Qunguang is the youngest daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, and the man is the son of a Zhong County Magistrate. He entered the palace as a servant a year ago."
"Servant?!"
"Ah."
