Chapter Twenty-Three: Queen, Rare Fish


The head of the guards' face turned pale, hesitated, and replied softly: "I was ordered by the queen to go to the peach garden to ask the princess to take a trip to the Luanfeng Palace, but I didn't know that I didn't find you in the courtyard, so I guessed that you should have come to Concubine Chen's mother, so I rushed over." ”The little guard, as soon as he opened his mouth, he used the queen to press me, and when I was Princess Xiao's identity, I sneered: "The leader really expects things like a god, and he really found this princess in the bedroom of Concubine Chen's sister." ”When I said this, I deliberately bit the word "dormitory" very hard.You must know that in this palace, in the dormitory of the emperor's concubines, under normal circumstances, only eunuchs and palace maids are allowed to enter and exit, and other men are absolutely forbidden.Hearing this, the leader of the guards hurriedly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and said sonorously: "The humble duty is also to carry out the orders of the queen's mother, so I also ask the princess to spare the lowly position this time." ”A trace of coldness flashed in my eyes, I was dying, and I actually used the queen to scare me, "There are no rules, there is no circle, if this princess spares you, then the next offender, how do you let this princess deal with it If the crime is punished, he will say that this princess is unfair, if he continues to spare him, then there will be another one, so that this rule will not be useless" After I finished speaking, the seven guards who originally knelt down on one knee were all changed to kneeling on both knees, and there was no longer the arrogance that when they first came in."

Sister" At this time, Concubine Chen came over without a trace, pulled my sleeve, and glanced at me, motioning for me to let these people go.I know very well that Concubine Chen is also for my good, and she is afraid that I will provoke the queen because of these guards.But I haven't provoked the queen before, didn't she still kill me last night Sometimes, I may not be able to live if I am soft, I gently pushed away Concubine Chen's hand, a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, and said to the head of the guard: "Didn't you just say, the queen wants to see this princess, then what are you still stunned to do Waiting for this princess to carry a sedan chair to invite you" Hearing this, the head of the guard hurriedly stood up and took the lead in making way for a road, bent down and bowed his head, and said respectfully: "It's a negligent duty, princess, please." ”At the same time, I could clearly see that the eyes of these guards were all full of mockery, and they thought that I was scheming about the queen, and that I did not dare to pursue the matter any further.Even Concubine Chen, who was standing beside me, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.I had a sneer on my face, I wasn't afraid, let alone let them go, but I felt that it was too simple to dispose of them like this.Since you want to tear your face with the queen, this is a good opportunity."

Listen to the rain, go and get the gift that the princess prepared for the queen."

I turned around and gave a word to Tingyu.Actually, I didn't prepare any gifts for the queen, I did this just to make these guards let their guard down even more, so that they would think that I was currying favor with the queen.Listening to the rain looking at me blankly, I had to give her a slight look."

Wait a minute, the princess, the slave and maid will go and get it."

Listening to the rain, he immediately cooperated with his body, and then turned around and ran towards the peach garden.Concubine Chen watched my every move, and couldn't help but show a look of doubt, looking at me with curiosity in her eyes.I pursed my lips and smiled, and quipped: "Why does my sister keep looking at my sister, is it that there are flowers on my sister's face" Concubine Chen heard this, retracted her gaze a little embarrassed, and said softly: "My sister was born handsome and beautiful, which made my sister look fascinated and rude." ”Concubine Chen's eyes are clear and her personality is gentle, which is very different from those harem women who are full of intrigue, this person is worth befriending.I also showed a sincere smile: "My sister makes fun of me." ”Within a few quarters of an hour, Tingyu walked over quickly with a box, "Princess, the things have been fetched." ”I took the box and opened it, and was dumbfounded, and there was only a plate of ordinary pastries from the palace.Listening to the rain looking at me with an aggrieved face, the corners of my mouth hooked up a smile, and I praised: "Not bad." ”The leader of the guards didn't seem to want to stay with me, so he urged on the side: "Princess Niangniang, since you have taken the things, can you go" I sneered in my heart, since you are in a hurry to die, then I will fulfill you, so I replied coldly: "Well, lead the way." ”When he arrived at the gate of Luanfeng Palace, the leader of the guards bent down, hugged his fists, and said, "Princess Niangniang, if there is nothing else, then the humble position will be retired." ”After that, without waiting for my consent, the leader of the guards turned around and walked out with the other six guards, which made me a little annoyed.Even if I am not favored in Xiao Wangfu, it will not be your turn to ride your face, is it really my Lin Jing'er still as easy to bully as before Stop" I snorted coldly, and the killing intent in my eyes surged.Several guards turned their heads, and were immediately frightened by my momentum, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", prostrate themselves, "What else do you have to do, princess" The head of the guards swallowed his saliva and stammered.I glanced at him, and in a tone of no doubt and rebuttal, said, "Come with this princess to see the queen." ”After speaking, I turned around and entered the Luanfeng Palace, these guards are just dying people in my eyes at this time, and I don't bother to deal with them for some trivial things.I walked in front dignified and elegant, listening to the rain closely behind me, and behind me, there were those arrogant guards.After passing through the three gates, I finally saw the queen in the courtyard, she was sitting on a stone bench, gracefully and generously watching the fish in the pond, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.I guessed in my heart that the queen must have thought that her plan had succeeded, which is why she was so happy.I silently crossed the threshold, and at the same time showed a dignified smile, and asked softly: "What is Niangniang thinking, thinking so happily" The queen was originally distracted, and was suddenly stunned by my cold voice, trembling with fright, and immediately raised her eyes to look at me angrily.Then, the queen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, her plan was obviously arranged seamlessly every day, but why was I still standing in front of her now."

Niangniang" I tentatively called out to the stunned queen again."

Oh, it turned out to be a nettle, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The queen then came back to her senses, her eyes flickered a few times, and she resumed her fake smile again, and said softly to me.I also kept a smile, with a hint of curiosity in my eyes, and asked: "What is the matter with Niangniang and other nettles" The queen pointed to a pool of ornamental fish, and said with a smile: "These are the Shichen of Nanli Kingdom to pay tribute to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty sent someone to send some to the palace, and the palace looked at these small fish are extremely rare, so they asked people to invite the nettles to come and watch them early in the morning." ”Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, but I still pretended to be very interested, and leaned over to the pond to take a look.There are at least hundreds of colorful fish in this pond, it is indeed novel to look at, and there are even several kinds, I have seen them in my previous life, if I remember correctly, these fish are highly poisonous, as long as they are bitten, or the skin is cut by the bone spurs on its back, if you can't take measures in time, such as injecting antivenom, etc., within half an hour, the injured person will die of poison.This is really interesting, it is obvious that the fish envoys of Nanli Kingdom did not have any good intentions, if the emperor was not very injured by these fish, with the medical technology of this era, against this very rare poison, it is generally weak.And a powerful country, if there is no emperor to preside over the overall situation, there will definitely be a group of princes to seize the throne, which will lead to civil strife.I frowned slightly, and asked the queen again: "Niangniang, are these fish extremely rare in our east?"

Things that can make the queen and the emperor so interested are generally rare and rare.The queen nodded and replied softly: "No, these fish are rare in Dongli, but they are not at all, and they are also rare in Nanli, only the royal family." ”At the end, he asked me curiously: "Why, Nettles also like this fish" Although I was very resistant to these poisons in my heart, I still nodded, and replied with a chuckle: "Hmm." ”Sure enough, as I expected, the queen was really very good to me, the daughter of my old friend, and immediately summoned someone and ordered: "When Princess Xiao leaves the palace, you can salvage a few of the best-looking ones in this pool, and let Princess Xiao take them back to the palace to play." ”I immediately blessed myself, "Thank you for your kindness." ”After that, I felt a little more aggrieved on my face, and said to the queen: "Niangniang, Jing'er could have accompanied you to enjoy the fish happily, but she was in a bad mood by a few people, so I didn't want to affect such an elegant atmosphere, so I retired first." ”The queen has always claimed to be a good sister to the original mother, and now that I say this in person, she, as an elder, naturally has to ask with concern."

What's the matter, who provoked my nettle," the queen immediately looked extremely concerned when she heard this, and asked in a slightly anxious tone.I wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of my eyes with my cuffs, and muttered back: "This morning, a team of guards broke into the courtyard of Concubine Chen's sister's dormitory without saying anything, and told Jing'er that they are your people, so Jing'er didn't dare to deal with it according to the palace rules, so she could only swallow her anger and expose the matter." ”Eventually, my voice became quieter and quieter, as if I had been greatly wronged.After listening, the corners of the queen's lips couldn't help twitching, but seeing that I looked innocent, not like a scheming person, she didn't think much about it, and comforted me directly, saying: "Don't be sad first, when the palace finds out these guards in the next few days, they will be severely punished." ”:
