"That's not possible. It has already been given to us. We are the only ones to enjoy it. Why don't we ask the emperor's sister-in-law to compose a song for you some other time. But you don't have the sixth sister-in-law, so you can't ask the emperor's sister-in-law to compose a song about fighting and killing the enemy.
I’ll give you the song!”
"Tenth brother, your mouth is so uncomfortable if you don't hurt others!"
Hongde Longqiu did not participate in the bickering between the two brothers. He just stared at Concubine Zhu. She still had the same calm look on her face, with a slight smile on her pale face. Meng Xinzhu had already noticed that the emperor was staring at her, and she made a bold move
With an action, she turned around to meet Hongde Longqiu's gaze, "I just indulged in my indulgence and disturbed the emperor's discussion of state affairs. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
"Where did my beloved concubine go? It's such a beautiful thing in the world to be able to hear such a good song on such a moonlit night!"
Meng Xinzhu was startled. She hoped that she had seen it wrong. She actually saw a doting look on the emperor's face!
Concubine Yue is standing in the tent. She has been standing there since Concubine Zhu began to sing. Humph, Concubine Zhu, do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? I think she also deeply impressed the emperor with her outstanding singing and dancing, and then
In addition to her charming appearance, she has been favored by the emperor. Now she has to admire the talent of this bamboo concubine. She feels that fortunately, the bamboo concubine's appearance is not outstanding and she has been suffering from chronic illness. However, the existence of the bamboo concubine still makes her feel
Threats, this is something she will never allow. She can't touch the concubines with status and background in the palace. What can a subjugated princess do to her?
Seeing the dragon boat parked on the shore of Changshui, Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but marvel, it was like a wooden version of the "Titanic"! She admired the various carvings on the boat, from bow to stern, and she couldn't tell how many sighs
, if such a ship is discovered in modern archeology, how can it be described as shocking the world? She suddenly wanted to stand on the bow of the ship and feel the "flying" feeling shown in a movie, but she still suppressed herself
This kind of impulse should not let others think that she is crazy at this time.
After boarding the ship, the three Hongde brothers often locked themselves in the room, leaving a group of women to be bored outside. Concubine Yue seemed to be unable to rest for a moment, always shouting and drinking at the eunuchs and maids, as well as Concubine Lin and Concubine Zhu.
There is no hot face. Concubine Lin spends a lot of time in the room and is very quiet even in the public area. She doesn't pay attention to Concubine Yue's words and just reads quietly. The Queen Mother always reads Buddhist scriptures in the room and doesn't care about things outside.
Pay attention.
When they arrived in Changshui, Meng Xinzhu put on his rock climbing suit and took a thin piece of hollow bamboo with him to use as a diving breathing tube after falling into the water. The boat had been sailing on Changshui for five days. During these five days, whether it was during the day or not,
It was still at night that the ten princesses were all glued to Meng Xinzhu and chatting with her. Meng Xinzhu was a little anxious. Now the ship was traveling along the river, and it was still two days away from Dongdu. If she went ashore, it would be very difficult to escape.
"Yu'er, you've been with me these past few days, aren't you afraid of neglecting the Tenth Prince?"
"No way, it's the sacrificial period, they are all fasting, and they are not allowed to have sex with women."
"Oh." Meng Xinzhu nodded. Since he could not send the Tenth Princess back to the prince, it seemed that he had no choice but to be ruthless. After dark, when the Tenth Princess was not paying attention, Meng Xinzhu pricked her acupuncture point with a silver needle to induce drowsiness.
The tenth princess in the middle covered herself with a quilt, and Meng Xinzhu gently stroked her face, "Good sister, I'm sorry for you. I hope you don't blame me when you wake up."
Meng Xinzhu walked softly to the deck and walked onto the stern deck. The fence here was very shallow, which was perfect for performing the trick of slipping and falling into the water. She looked around, she couldn't go into the water silently now, it was best to go into the water when someone saw her.
She was looking to see if anyone appeared when she heard someone on the second floor platform shouting: "Empress Zhu Fei." Meng Xinzhu looked up and saw that it was Eunuch Ming. He was holding on to the railing of the building, "Empress, be careful, it's too dangerous there.
, please don’t..."
Before he finished speaking, and before the Bamboo Concubine had time to perform her "death escape", Meng Xinzhu felt something suddenly hit her right calf with gravity. Her leg went weak, her body lost its center of gravity, and she fell off the deck.
, fell into the river.
"Empress! It's terrible, the Bamboo Concubine has fallen into the water! Someone come quickly!" The deck was filled with the anxious voice of Eunuch Ming.
Although her right leg was in pain, Meng Xinzhu immediately woke up as soon as she fell into the water. Holding her breath, she quickly took off the robe covering her rock climbing suit, put the bamboo tube in her mouth, swayed her body, and headed towards the boat.
She swam in the opposite direction. It was already dark now, and the boat was still moving. Even if someone went into the water to save her, there was no way to save her. Plus the robe she left behind, people would definitely think that she had drowned and her body was
It sank to the bottom of the river.
Meng Xinzhu dived and swam for a long time before she raised her head out of the water. Now she could no longer see the ship. It seemed that her escape was successful. Meng Xinzhu smiled slightly. She looked for the river bank by the moonlight. Now she felt her calf
Her stomach hurt, and she had to go ashore quickly to see the extent of her injuries. Judging from the situation on the boat just now, she must have been plotted by someone. Although this person helped her escape, the pain now made Meng Xinzhu feel a little grateful to this person.
Feelings cannot rise.
After finally swimming to the shore, Meng Xinzhu stood up and limped ashore. As soon as she left the water, she sat down on the shore and breathed in. Swimming against the current was really exhausting! She combed it with her hands.
She combed her messy hair and tied it into a ponytail, then pulled her right leg to her side and started rubbing her calf.
"I didn't expect that my bamboo concubine would have such good water properties!"
Meng Xinzhu stopped massaging, and she felt a chill running through her entire back. Oh my god! How could this happen?
Meng Xinzhu closed her eyes, stood up slowly with her hands on the ground, and turned around slowly. There was a man sitting on a large stone on the shore. He was wearing a golden robe to mark his identity, and his first-class bodyguard was sitting there.
Standing next to the big rock, the two people were staring at her.
Meng Xinzhu squinted at them for a while, then smiled helplessly and started walking to the shore. She noticed that Xiao Zhao had already clenched the stick cautiously and took a step forward. She smiled and chose a piece of wood and a stool.
He sat down on a stone of about the same size and height and continued to rub his calves.
Hongde Longqiu tilted his head and looked at the woman in front of him. He remembered that she always ran away in a hurry when she met him before. Why was she so quiet now?
"Seeing me here, Concubine Zhu, are you still not polite?"
Meng Xinzhu smiled and shook her head, "Don't call me Zhu Fei. If she really comes to find you, I'm afraid you will have nightmares."
