The instinct brought by years of training made Liu Ziqiu almost slap it down with one palm. His hand was already raised in the air before he paused. He pushed the bamboo hat on his head and whispered: "It's me! You call me again, uncle."
I’ll beat you…”
"I know, spanking." The little princess turned over and lay down on the bench consciously, but then turned back and asked in a sweet voice, "What's your name, uncle?"
No one had ever dared to call himself uncle in front of her, so she didn't know what "uncle" was and actually took it as Liu Ziqiu's name.
"Okay, I won't hit you." Liu Ziqiu shook his head helplessly, took off the cloth bag from his waist and said, "Here is the new ball, uncle gave it to you."
The little princess raised her foot and kicked it. The ball bounced on the ground twice, hit the wall with a "pop", and bounced back. She was so happy that she clapped her hands around and said repeatedly: "This is fun, this is fun. One over there,
Nannan can't kick."
Liu Ziqiu quickly walked to the window and said, "Uncle is gone."
"Don't go!" The little princess suddenly ran over and grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.
The little princess lives in a gorgeous palace, seemingly getting wind and rain, but in fact she is not happy. Everyone is submissive and trembling in front of her, even the wet nurse who has fed her since she was a child.
Liu Ziqiu was the only one who maintained an equal attitude in front of her and even dared to hit her, which made her a little dependent on Liu Ziqiu.
Suddenly, there was the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps on the stairs, and a eunuch asked sharply: "Your Highness, what happened..."
The little princess didn't like these eunuchs and maids, so she didn't allow them to enter her room after dark. When she heard the eunuch's question, she couldn't help shouting: "Get out of here!"
"Gudong, Gudong", "Ouch"...
There was a series of noises outside, and the eunuch actually rolled down the stairs. He probably hit the wall in the end, and the fall was not light.
Liu Ziqiu had no time to play with the little girl. He had just seen the drawings and remembered that two hundred steps west from the Moon Tower was the west wall of the palace city, and beyond the wall was Shanglin Xiyuan. The west window was only opened
Halfway through, Liu Ziqiu was stunned. The city wall that was dark just now was now as bright as day.
The little princess often makes all kinds of noises, but her scream tonight was so shrill and exaggerated that it not only alerted the palace maids and eunuchs in the building, but also alerted the guards at the west gate of the palace.
The top of the city was now filled with soldiers, many lanterns and torches were lit, and they were all staring at Lan Yue Tower.
Looking downstairs, there are also many palace maids and eunuchs holding lanterns, surrounding the small building, looking upstairs. If something happens to the little princess, even ten of their heads are not enough to cut off. Who dares to take it lightly?
Shanglin Xiyuan is definitely impossible to get to, and now he has to find a way to escape. There are many experts in the palace, so if he breaks through forcefully, Liu Ziqiu has no chance of escaping safely.
The little princess's childlike voice came over again: "Uncle, where are you going?"
This little girl still remembers the lie Liu Ziqiu told last time.
"Do you have any idea?" Liu Ziqiu asked casually.
In fact, he didn't have any hope.
Sure enough, the little princess shook her head and said, "My father won't let me go, but you can, you can fly!"
Liu Ziqiu was stunned, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "You are the only one who knows that uncle can fly, can you keep it a secret?"
"able!"
"Do you want uncle to teach you?"
"think!"
"But if your father knew that I came in, he would definitely kill me. So, I can only sneak in and sneak out."
"Oh, I see. You're a robber!"
Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, but in order to escape, he had no choice but to continue: "Uncle is a good man, not a robber. If you want me to teach you how to fly, you must do me a favor."
The little princess nodded very seriously.
Liu Ziqiu said: "You call all these people downstairs, and then uncle can take the opportunity to fly away, and he can teach you again later."
The little princess clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This is easy, I'll call them."
"Wait!" Liu Ziqiu saw that she was so easy to deceive, and he had an idea again. He pointed in the direction of Shanglin Xiyuan and said, "Uncle will go there in a few days. If someone finds out, he will not be able to go there in the future.
Teach you to fly."
The little princess became anxious and said, "Uncle, don't go."
"Actually, it's nothing. If someone discovers you, you can lure them away and uncle can fly away."
The little princess scratched her head: "Should I call them all over?"
"That's not necessary. You can make as much noise as you can here, pretend to be sick, pretend to have a stomachache, hit people and set people on fire, you name it."
"kindness!"
"Well, you call them up and I'll fly."
Liu Ziqiu was conflicted for a while about whether he should take advantage of such an innocent little girl, but he had to act in a hurry and could only find opportunities to compensate her in the future.
At noon the next day, Li Jing hurried home and brought news that surprised everyone. The garrison outside Shanglinyuan suddenly doubled.
Liu Ziqiu was shocked. Could it be that the little princess betrayed him?
Li Jing comforted him and said, "My dear brother, don't be impatient. I will go and find out more later."
It turned out that Empress Xiao was coming to Xiyuan tomorrow. After Yang Guang learned that Shanglin Xiyuan was completed, he could not wait to return to Beijing immediately. In order to confirm the lady in charge of the Sixteenth Courtyard before Yang Guang came back, Xiao, who had originally accompanied Yang Guang on his northern tour,
The empress returned to Luoyang ahead of schedule. The new troops were to protect Empress Xiao, but they disrupted Liu Ziqiu's plan.
Liu Ziqiu stared at the sketch of Xiyuan he had just drawn, and was at a loss for what to do.
Li Jing did not expect Liu Ziqiu to be so attentive to Hou Susu's affairs, and was very touched. He quickly comforted him: "Brother Xian, you have tried your best. Even if things fail to succeed, Shi E will not blame you. Besides, Miss Hou is just a handyman, so she should
You won’t be so easily affected by Yang Guang’s luck, so there will be no problem in keeping your innocence.”
Li Jing knew very well how difficult this matter was, and he didn't have high hopes from the beginning.
Liu Ziqiu had a bolder idea, to assassinate Yang Guang!
The purpose of his coming to Beijing was to dissuade Gao Xiuer from taking revenge, but in the huge crowd, he could not find Gao Xiuer. If he could assassinate Yang Guang before Gao Xiuer, Gao Xiuer would have lost his target, and he would naturally be safe.
According to the course of history, Yang Guang should have ten years left to live, and the assassination may be difficult to succeed. Since Liu Ziqiu can come here, it means that history has changed, and what can't happen? There are many dangers in assassinating Yang Guang, but
He has a better chance of winning than Gao Xiuer, a weak woman.
Doing it is not a simple matter, he needs to plan carefully.
But it was said that in the early morning of the next day, Queen Xiao, accompanied by two Chen concubines, came to Xiyuan in person and went straight to Lingyun Tower on Penglai Island in the middle of the lake. The beauties in each courtyard got the news last night and got up early to bathe and dress up, dressed up like flowers.
, come to the tower and wait for Queen Xiao’s assessment.
Twenty-one beauties from the first courtyard came forward first. Queen Xiao's nose twitched and she suddenly asked: "It's already September, how come there is still the fragrance of osmanthus on this island?"
Wang Guizhi bowed and bowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Queen, this fragrance was brought out of your mother's womb by your slave."
When she was drunk, Wang Guizhi kept a straight face all day long, just because she was afraid of being entangled by those prodigal sons. Now that she has entered the palace, she has to think about her own future, and she is no longer as cold as before.
Empress Xiao didn't believe it, so she beckoned her closer, sniffed it vigorously, smiled and said: "It's really wonderful, the emperor will definitely be delighted when he sees it, and I will appoint you to be the lady in charge of this first hospital."
Among the other twenty beauties, there were quite a few who had outstanding talents, but they had no chance to show off their talents and could only succumb to Wang Guizhi.
When it was the turn of the second court, all the women sang or danced and tried their best to show off in front of Queen Xiao. However, one woman did not make any movements and seemed to stand out among the crowd.
Queen Xiao couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "What's your name?"
The woman bowed Yingying and said: "My servant Fan, my nickname is Yu'er."
"Fan Yu'er?" Queen Xiao frowned and asked suddenly, "But Fan Yu'er is famous in Dongdu and is called Rouge Tiger?"
The woman's face turned red with shame, she lowered her head and said, "It's my slave."
It turns out that she is the daughter of a military family. She looks thin, but her two pink arms are stronger than men. She has been good at using guns and sticks since she was a child, and she is also good at swords. Because of her beauty, some dandies often want to belittle her.
, but they were no match for her punches and kicks. As time went by, no one dared to mess with her anymore, so she earned the name "Rouge Tiger", and I didn't want even Empress Xiao to hear about it.
Empress Xiao immediately appointed her as the hostess of the Second Courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, the Sixth Courtyard was in sight. Xue Yeer cheered up and was about to dance with his swords, but he was overtaken by another beauty. Her surname was Qin and her name was Fengqin. She was good at needlework and pole dancing.
.On the top of the pole were tied dozens of colorful silk ribbons, and on the bottom were tied several red gold bells.
Qin Fengqin held a pole in each hand and danced slowly, with ribbons circling forward and backward, and the ringing of the bells was clear and sweet. Slowly, the beauty Qin danced more and more urgently. She heard the ringing of the bells in her ears, and the colorful lights in front of her eyes dazzled everyone.
Empress Xiao shouted "good" three times and appointed Qin Fengqin to be the head wife of the Sixth Courtyard. Xue Yeer's face was full of disappointment, but there was nothing she could do.
The ladies of the Eighth Courtyard had been appraised all morning, but Queen Xiao wanted to take a nap. The beauties did not dare to leave, so they had to wait in front of the tower.
Yuan Ziyan whispered to Gao Xiuer: "Sister Huiniang, the wife of our hospital must be you."
Gao Xiu'er didn't want to be the host's wife, and she didn't wear makeup when she came to be judged today. It's just that she is naturally beautiful, and standing in the team was particularly eye-catching. After hearing Yuan Ziyan's words, Gao Xiu'er couldn't help but feel confused.
In the afternoon, the commentary continued. Groups of beauties presented their talents for Empress Xiao to comment on.
Finally arriving at the 15th courtyard, Queen Xiao was already a little sleepy. Seeing that Gao Xiuer, Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan were obviously more outstanding in the team, she couldn't help but pointed and said: "You three will each show your talents, and the rest will step down."
Sisters Chen Chou and Chen Sui wanted to promote Gao Xiu'er to be the wife of the principal. They stood up and pointed at Gao Xiu'er and said, "The queen is beautiful, I think she is good."
