Chapter 55
When he was seven years old, Hu Lu proposed to develop Yue Palace into a tourist attraction, collect tickets, sell souvenirs, and increase the court's finances. However, he was spanked by the Queen Mother, and Guo'er and Hongxiu each had a petal when applying medicine.
When he was eight years old, he suggested that the concubines and old maids of the Yue Palace should be released from the palace and given their freedom. This time, the Queen Mother did not spank him, but asked, "Do you think they are willing to leave the palace? If you drive them out of the palace,
, they can break your spine.
From then on, he never had any idea of Yue Gong. He just allocated money to Yue Gong from his royal treasury on time every year, and never saw the money returned.
As the old people in the palace passed away every year, the allocation became less and less, but they had to die in the palace. Before they died, they were full of complaints, saying that they had been harmed by the late emperor.
The late emperor had too many women. Some of them were only blessed once in their lives, and after becoming a woman once, they were completely trapped.
Of course, you can gain freedom after leaving the palace, but the emperor's women cannot remarry, and after leaving the palace, there is no monthly salary, no imperial physician to diagnose and treat diseases, no one to serve, and family members are not welcome, and the future life is not guaranteed. Only a fool leaves the palace.
.
The former emperor had a large number of women. After Hulu ascended the throne, except for the concubines who were close to the queen mother, or those who gave birth to children and lived with the princess and the prince, everyone else was sent back to Yue Palace.
The Yue Palace is much smaller than the Purple Palace, so at first it was full of people living in the Yue Palace. Now, after twenty years, some palaces and gardens have been allocated for the young beautiful ladies to live in.
This dying old palace finally had some use.
Looking at the old palace in front of her, Grandma Zhao was filled with emotion. Originally, she had the opportunity to retire there, but by some strange combination of circumstances, now she could only work hard to support herself.
She glanced at Bai Buling and her friend Sun Qiaoer who were eager to try, and she had to explain everything that needed to be explained several times.
What Xiaobai says most these days is, when can girls from other provinces come? Why do we have to wait for them? Why don’t we go to the palace first?
She was really anxious to get herself to the emperor. The name Bai Buling was inappropriate. She should have been called Bai Gei.
Bai Buling and Sun Qiaoer swaggered into Yue Palace, with joy on their faces and excitement in their hearts. They didn't stop talking all the way.
Sun Qiaoer talked about seeing her aunt off and her uncle's family out of Beijing yesterday. "Oh, my uncle went to Xiliang to be a high official. We went to see him off yesterday, so he was not at home."
"Is this your uncle who is the number one scholar?"
"Yes, he is very knowledgeable, and the emperor thinks highly of him. By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you," Sun Qiaoer said. "In case you enter the palace but I don't, if you encounter any trouble, you can report it to the palace."
I asked the poppy for help, she is my uncle’s aunt.”
Bai Buling said confidently, "If there is any trouble, I can solve it myself. I don't need to trouble the old man."
Sun Qiaoer, "She is not old, she is younger than you and me."
"ah?"
"You are not very old, but you are older than me. I heard that my aunt is now favored by His Majesty."
"Do you, my aunt, like to read romantic picture albums?"
"ah?"
"You still like to draw?"
"It's true that I like painting. It's a family tradition in their family, but I haven't heard of it in the Fengyue picture album. Xiaobai, do you have someone in the palace?" Sun Qiaoer's eyes rolled.
That's not the case, it's just that these days she has to go to the palace every night, firstly to get familiar with the terrain, and secondly to get familiar with the people.
Fortunately, the staff in the harem was not complicated. The emperor had only changed five sleeping places, and she had already recognized them all. If she was young, the first thing she thought of was the one in Chuxiu Palace.
"No, no," Bai Buling hurriedly denied, "I also heard from Zhao Shufen that she has an acquaintance in the palace."
"Ah, that seems to be true!" Sun Qiaoer was surprised. Everyone in the palace knew that my aunt loved to read romantic picture albums. Even a mother-in-law who had been out of the palace for a long time knew about it!
If I had known this, I should have thought of ways to buy some limited editions for her!
Sun Qiaoer regretted it endlessly and blamed Bai Buling for not telling her the news earlier, "In the future, our news must be shared, otherwise how can we compete with other show girls!"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Not only did Aunt Zhao watch the two of them enter the palace, Yun Qing also watched them.
how so?
The papers of these two people are exactly the same. This is fraud. Why did they both advance?
Is there still king's law, is there still heavenly law?
"Xiaoyun, what are you looking at?" Lu Jiujiu asked.
"No, it's nothing. Just send me here."
"It can only be sent here. I am not qualified to go in," Lu Jiujiu sighed. "Once you enter the palace, serve our Majesty for me. You can still use the skills I taught you..."
"roll!"
"Okay~"
Yun Qing entered the palace with her certificate, but when she first stepped into the palace gate, she paused.
Something's wrong!
This palace also has a magic circle!
Compared with the purple palace formation, this palace-protecting formation is older, but has a clear structure, few flaws, greater power, and is still in operation!
After entering Yue Palace, Yun Qing did not report immediately. Instead, he secretly put on the Ghost King Mask and observed it. He found that there were very few ghosts in the palace, and they were all the ghosts of the palace concubines who had died recently and were about to disappear.
After Yun Qing communicated with them through the Ghost King Mask, it turned out that the ghosts from outside could not get in. The function of this formation was to resist evil spirits outside the palace, not only ghosts but also monsters.
You can only go out, you can't go in.
"No, why did the little fox get in so easily?" Yun Qing was confused.
In addition to doubts, I was even more embarrassed.
There is no way to avoid it this time, they are going to meet each other after all, but only the little fox knows about this matter. If there is any relevant news in the circle, it is her problem, and he will take action on her.
The consequences will be serious, meow!
Then Yun Qing went to register and was assigned a dormitory.
One hundred and forty girls waiting for the draft were assigned to four palaces, namely the Immortal Palace, the Changsheng Palace, the Feisheng Garden and the Wanfa Tower.
All the beautiful ladies in the capital went to the Immortal Palace, where they shared a room. When Yun Qing entered the courtyard, Sun Qiaoer was patting her chest and saying, "When you enter the palace from now on, everyone must help each other. My aunt is the most favored one in the palace now." Poppy, everything is easy to say..."
She was using a poppy to pull off the tiger's skin, and Bai Buling was on the sidelines, complimenting her cooperatively, "Yes, poppy, you know, the emperor flipped the cards, and it was her, she, she, for two of the three days..."
Halfway through her words, she saw Yun Qing.
Yun Qing still had the same temperament as before, except that he didn't hold a sword and changed his clothes, exactly the same as the one he saw on the bank of Yanjiang River.
Bai Buling was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits, not because he was frightened by Yun Qing's strength. She was a good fairy and it was obvious that she would not kill fairies indiscriminately, but she knew her most embarrassing secret!
Sun Qiaoer realized something was wrong with Bai Buling and asked doubtfully, "Xiao Bai, what's wrong?"
Bai Buling said, "It's okay, you continue, I'll go out for a while."
She deliberately touched Yun Qing when she went out, and then the eyes of everyone in the Immortal Palace were smoothly transferred to Yun Qing, and they couldn't help but say "Wow".
The people who live here are all beautiful women from the capital, the Central Plains, and Jiangnan. They are considered to be the best among all the beautiful women. However, when they see the woman in front of them, they still can't help but exclaim.
This was already the second time they had exclamated in surprise today, the first time was when they saw Bai Buling.
But wonder is also different.
Although I was amazed when I saw Bai Buling, after I was amazed, I would think with disdain, bah, he looks like a vixen at first glance!
But looking at Yun Qing will only make her feel ashamed. Her beauty is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Yun Qing put her bedding and luggage into her room, but her bedmate hadn't arrived yet, so she turned around and left without saying anything or introducing herself.
Bai Buling was waiting for her under a big tree.
"Shangxian, why are you here?"
Due to the circumstances, Bai Buling did not kneel down, so he felt very uneasy.
Yun Qing said, "You don't have to panic. I'm not here for you, but why I'm here is a matter of great mystery. The water here is very deep, so don't ask around."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Yun Qing, "I would like to ask you, why are you here? This is a talent show. Do you want to enter the palace and serve the emperor?"
"Yes, I want to be the queen!" Bai Buling said confidently.
Yun Qing wanted to persuade her to quit, but then she thought, what if her disciple's mother was her?
Now that she has reached this point, it is her fate. If she destroys it forcefully, I am afraid that even her master-disciple fate will be affected.
In short, with me watching over him in the palace, I wouldn't really let this little fox drain the little emperor's essence and blood.
"Okay, then you should take care of yourself. Don't do evil. Just pretend that you don't know me. If you leave the palace in the future, you can't mention this matter and don't reveal the secret."
"Little demon understands!"
Yun Qing nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly said, "You smell so good!"
In fact, what she wanted to ask was, could this spice mask the goblin's aura? Why couldn't she feel the goblin's aura even at such a close distance?
Could it be that this is why she was able to surpass the Evil-Slaying Formation?
And when Bai Buling heard this, it was: She ordered me!
This is a threat! If she dares to reveal her secret, she will spread her story everywhere, and even tell the emperor!
That's for sure!
"Shangxian, why don't I kowtow to you!" As she said this, she would kneel down out of habit.
This scene was seen by a tall and beautiful girl holding luggage, "What are you guys doing?"
"It's okay, my foot slipped a bit." Bai Buling straightened up.
"You Ni'er look very cunning at first glance," the rookie girl grinned, then switched the language mode and became a lady, "May I ask you two sisters, is this the Immortal Palace in front of you?"
"yes."
"You live there too?"
"right."
"Let's go together then. Let's go together."
Later, Yun Qing met his roommate, a girl named Chu Ke from the Central Plains Province. She was extremely beautiful, but had a wild temper and a heroic personality.
"Xiao Yun, with your beauty, you must never go out on the road alone, you will easily be snatched away to be the wife of the village." Chu Han sat crookedly on the chair and sighed, "It is a pity that such a beauty is allowed to be enjoyed by the emperor. .”
Yun Qing looked at her demeanor, she really didn't look like a lady, "If you hadn't been a girl, I would have thought that the leader of the bandit village who robbed the beauty was you."
"Click!"
