The concubine in the medicine pot is charming again, and the sick and tyrant obediently confesses 228 I'm a hypocrite, a tyrant in the harem, understand?
228 I'm a hypocrite, a tyrant in the harem, understand?
On the third day after Feng Xuan and Wu Zhu's wedding, the Ministry of Rites once again hosted a banquet in the Taiji Hall to honor the entire Beiyi mission as well as Xiao Yi and others.
The marriage was finalized and the national treaty was completed. Garuda wrote on behalf of the Northern Yi Khan and signed an agreement with Emperor Feng Wuyan of Dayan that the two sides would not invade each other's territory within one year.
At the same time, Dayan also prepared generous gifts in return to appease the Beiyi envoys for coming from thousands of miles away.
Finally, this half-month visit came to a successful conclusion with both the host and the guests enjoying themselves and benefiting both countries.
In the early morning, under Zhengyang Gate.
Xiao Xiruo and Feng Wuyan stood at the city gate again and watched as the Beiyi envoys and Dayan's bride-to-be team boarded the car.
Before leaving, Xiao Xiruo delivered the first batch of cotton-padded clothes produced by the workshop to his brother and told him to be careful along the way.
Xiao Yi, the young commander of the Northern Liang army who was leading troops on the battlefield and faced thousands of troops without being moved at all, turned his eyes red when he said goodbye to his sister.
We have been separated for years, and we don’t know when we will see each other again.
So he left and came back again, giving a big bear hug to his frail and frail sister, who obviously only needed to take care of her health but had devoted all her energy to Beiliang.
This hug was a brother hugging his sister, but it was also the young commander hugging a person who sincerely devoted himself to everyone in Beiliang and had been silently supporting them behind the scenes.
It's love, gratitude, and pride.
Just like Xiao Yi said when waving goodbye to Xiao Xiruo again:
"Once upon a time, my father and I regarded you as someone to be protected. We thought you should be hidden in the boudoir and sit in the hall. But now, my brother only has one thing to say, Ruoruo, my brother and my father are proud of you."
Overlooking the mountains and rivers, I watched the delegation and the escorting procession gradually move away.
Xiao Xiruo couldn't recover from these words for a long time, until Feng Wuyan beside her called her softly, as if he was afraid that she would be sad, and patted her back gently.
Don’t want to give up?
A little bit.
But for Xiao Xiruo now, what she cares about most is the approval of her cheap brother Xiao Yi.
Because she finally no longer feels guilty.
From today on, she is the real Xiao Xiruo.
On the fifth day of June, the weather gradually became hot and dry, with sometimes heavy rain and sometimes scorching sun. It was really not comfortable for a patient like Xiao Xiruo.
Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened the ice cellar early and sent ice cubes and large ice cubes for cooling to Changle Palace.
You know, almost all the ice in the past two years was supplied to Shoukang Palace.
After all, the emperor is a puppet, and the concubines have no real power. The queen mother has the final say as to who will be given ice or not.
So as soon as summer came, all the concubines rushed to the Queen Mother with all their strength. Some presented their talents and some gave delicious food, hoping to stay in Shoukang Palace for a longer time or to win over the Queen Mother.
Happy to be given a new piece of ice.
But despite their efforts, the Queen Mother Hua still wouldn't give them a good look.
The ice that was no longer needed by Shoukang Palace either went to Fengqi Palace or was transported directly to the Hua Family and Wang Family. The meat was gone and there probably wasn't much soup left.
However, this year is no better than last year. The Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother, but the harem is no longer the same as last year.
Xiao. Pretending to be pity. The harem tyrant said, "Isn't it the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Come over, come over. I have something to tell you."
So that afternoon, Haigui burst into Shoukang Palace crying and scolded Concubine Xiao for holding back all the remaining ice after learning about the annual ice expenses of Shoukang Palace.
So much so that when the Hua family came to collect the ice as usual, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to give it out at all.
Because the women in Changle Palace are so domineering, they will beat anyone who dares to go up...
"Rebellion! She, Xiao Xiruo, has rebelled, isn't she? The Kui Ai family was still afraid that she would be overheated, so they asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver ice to her as soon as the ice cellar was opened. She, she actually repaid her with kindness?"
In Shoukang Palace, Queen Mother Hua was furious.
The Hua Family and the Imperial City have been using ice in this way over the years. If Xiao Xiruo doesn't let them take it now, isn't this a deliberate attempt to punish them?
So Queen Mother Hua immediately sent Hua Suyi to Changle Palace to talk to Xiao Xiruo about this matter.
Faced with Hua Suyi's question, Xiao Xiruo, who was leaning on the soft couch, laughed at that time.
Xiao Xiruo: "Is the palace the emperor's palace?"
Hua Suyi: "...Yes."
Xiao Xiruo: "Then the things in the palace belong to the emperor?"
Hua Suyi: "...Yes."
So Xiao Xiruo spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Ayan's things belong to me. I take my own ice and use it for myself. Why do you question me? Your Hua family is shameless, and your Hua family doesn't want to give you money?"
In just one stick of incense, Hua Suyi left Changle Palace in despair.
And Xiao Xiruo's wonderful words "What belongs to the emperor belong to this palace" spread directly throughout the entire harem.
So starting from the second day, the concubines who flocked to Shoukang Palace to show their hospitality collectively changed their positions and went to Changle Palace with smiles on their faces.
They seemed to have forgotten how they had caused Xiao Xiruo to behave vulgarly, be frivolous, and not understand the rules.
Not only was Xiao Xiruo not disgusted with their behavior of rushing to criticize her, but she also really enjoyed watching them smile on the surface, but kept scolding her acting skills in her heart.
At the back, Xiao Xiruo even ordered someone to clear a side hall, put ice cubes and chairs, and let the concubines who came to perform for her sit in a circle and perform for each other.
As for the food, of course they eat and drink from each other!
So within three days, these people danced harder and harder, and the food they cooked became more and more unpalatable. The way they disgusted each other was simply a real-life version of a palace scheming.
Fortunately, it is Xiao Xiruo who these people hate the most. There is no other way, so Ayan will pamper her and give her all the ice~
Three more days later, Queen Mother Hua, who was so angry at Xiao Xiruo that she had acne on her face and smashed things for several days, finally stopped.
Whether out of faith or out of boredom, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned forty-nine Taoist priests into the palace to pray for her under the leadership of Taiqing Taoist.
It would be fine if she was just praying for blessings, but on the second day she summoned the Qin Tian Jian Jian Zheng and a group of Qin Tian Jian officials into the palace, as if she was deducing something with Taiqing Taoist...
"The Queen Mother has been in poor health recently, so when I went to report the news, I could only stay outside. Just listen to what Taiqing Taoist said about Yinghuo and Baihong... By the way, he also said that black clouds were pressing south of Dayan. This is
An ominous sign..."
Xi Yang spoke intermittently. He originally thought that this was a lie, but he saw his wife gradually frowning.
Confused?
Baihong?
The bright light protects the heart? The white rainbow penetrates the sun?
Aren’t these words used by ancient people to describe natural disasters?
It would be fine if Taiqing was just fooling the Queen Mother Hua, but it happened that a natural disaster was coming to Dayan recently, and even she was tense all the time.
So, has Taiqing, who has some sects, really figured it out?
Xiao Xiruo was confused, but her doubts were answered early the next morning.
In the morning, the Qintian Supervisor personally started to play, saying bluntly that the white rainbow was shining through the sun, the stars were appearing in the south, and the evil clouds were coming out. This was a sign of impending disaster, the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family.
