He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
Does he dare not try it?
Besides, the courgettes in Leng Gong were indeed fresh and delicious, so Yang Sixu could only nod.
Xuanzong looked like I wanted to eat courgettes and climb over the wall for you, and then he jumped into the cold palace.
It had been more than a month since he last came to Leng Palace. Xuanzong picked fresh courgettes and wiped them on his clothes before taking a few bites. He saw a shadow carrying a dung bucket appearing on the field ridge, breathing heavily.
Xuanzong quickly gave Yang Sixu a wink, and the two of them hid behind the dense cowpea vines.
The stout woman carrying the dung bucket put down the stinky dung bucket, then started cursing with a ladle for pouring dung.
"Xu Cairen, a low-ranking concubine, dares to sit on my head and defecate, forcing me to do the work of picking excrement all day long. When I step out of the cold palace and become favored by His Majesty, I will definitely extract the corpse and skin the bitch every day. Hit her with a dung ladle and soak her in the dung pit where maggots will grow."
"And that bitch Wang Ling, a fool, an idiot. She is a queen, but she actually said that she fell in love with the days when she was farming in the cold palace, and she even asked that little bitch to catch chickens and ducks for her and raise them in the palace."
"A majestic queen actually raises chickens and ducks. How is this different from a country woman?"
"Unlike me, even if I am temporarily relegated to this cold palace, with my beauty and talent, I will eventually regain my favor one day. When I first entered the palace, Your Majesty called me your darling all day long."
"I am His Majesty's little sweetheart. How can he let me suffer in the cold palace all the time? When I leave the cold palace, I must rely on my unparalleled beauty to win back His Majesty's heart and let Wang Ling, a stinky woman, stay in the cold palace. The Leng Palace continues to raise chickens and ducks, and I will take charge of the Sixth Palace instead of her. I will become the Queen and accompany His Majesty every day, going to the dragon bed together..."
The woman holding a ladle of dung and turning it into black charcoal had a waist as thick as a bucket. When she poured the dung, she flicked the ladle, which made her look even more powerful. If she hadn't called herself this palace, Xuanzong would never have thought of showing his yellow teeth when cursing. The woman was actually the beautiful concubine of the past.
But it has only been more than a month since I came to Leng Gong. What happened?
Why did Concubine De become like this?
Seeing Concubine De like this, Xuanzong had nausea and convulsions. It turned out that the vegetable patch that Concubine De was watering was the courgette vine he had just picked.
No wonder Xuanzong felt that the courgettes picked today were not as delicious as the courgettes he ate when he sneaked into the cold palace for the first time. Standing in front of the courgette vines, he vaguely smelled a pungent smell. It turned out to be the courgettes that Concubine De had just poured excrement on?
I don’t know if the fecal juice splashed on the courgette when Concubine De poured it on her.
The courgette he ate was not washed!
Xuanzong looked at the half-cut courgette in his hand, and then looked at the courgette that Yang Sixu was holding in his hand before he could bite it. His whole body felt bad. In addition, he heard Concubine De, who had turned black and had yellow teeth, saying that we would go to the dragon together. On the bed, his stomach was churning, and he was about to vomit while holding his chest.
Concubine De, who was holding a dung ladle, heard the commotion and looked towards him, imagining Concubine De seeing him flying towards him. Xuanzong couldn't stand it anymore and winked at Yang Sixu.
So Yang Sixu turned into an afterimage, walked around behind Concubine De, and knocked her on the back of the neck. Concubine De fell next to the courgette vine.
Xuanzong threw half of the courgette on the ground as if his hands were hot, squatted by the canal and washed his hands, then patted his clothes and looked at Concubine De who fell to the ground.
"Her hysteria is getting worse!"
He wanted Concubine De, who was talking nonsense, to disappear, but when he saw half of her face stained with feces after she fell to the ground, and thinking of the fourth prince, Xuanzong finally held back.
He said to Yang Sixu: "I won't argue with such a crazy woman!"
The hard-hearted Yang Sixu felt that it was really pitiful that Concubine De was like a country woman because she picked excrement every day. She was still unconscious and was knocked unconscious by him and was chewing dung dregs.
Yang Sixu nodded and ignored Concubine De, who fell to the ground and still held the excrement scoop tightly.
He said with a very discerning eye: "She said that the Queen has raised chickens and ducks?"
"Last time I came to Shangyang Palace, I just walked around the medicine field."
Xuanzong asked Yang Sixu to explore the way: "Let's go!"
After witnessing the changes and misery of Concubine De, Xuanzong was afraid that Queen Wang would become like Concubine De.
His brother Wang tried every possible means to escape the summer heat at the Royal Villa on the outskirts of Beijing, but Mingji, who was hiding in the dark and could not be caught, committed suicide in fear of crime.
Gouji jumped over the wall and poisoned Wang Shouyi to death. Fearing that Ming Si would be caught and he could figure out the whole thing, he cruelly poisoned his illegitimate son. The case was full of doubts.
Originally, because of Wang Shouyi's death, he already felt very guilty towards the queen. If the queen turned into the concubine after being thrown into the cold palace, he would be even more uneasy.
These days, when he has free time, he will always think of those days in the feudal palace.
Fortunately, when Yang Sixu led him like a maze to the attic where the Queen lived, and saw Queen Wang feeding the chickens with Li Sixu in the dark, he finally felt more at ease.
The evening sun shines through the gaps between the trees, casting a patch of dappled sunlight all over the Queen's body. Because the weather is hot and she wears little clothing, the Queen rolls up her sleeves and sprinkles chicken food on her hands, which are as white as jade.
Compared with when she was taking care of the Sixth Palace, the queen who was working in the cold palace during these days obviously looked much better.
From far away, you can hear her and Li Sixu's laughter while feeding the chickens.
"Sisi hasn't been here for a few days, and they've grown bigger again."
In front of the chicken pen surrounded by a bamboo fence, Queen Wang, who was sprinkling chicken food, smiled brightly at Li Sixu: "When these chickens grow up, the queen mother will grab one and make it for you to stew dendrobium soup, and then raise chickens and ducks like ordinary people do. When the chickens and ducks are grown, they can be caught to replenish the health of their children. This is what a mother should do."
"In the Queen Mother's heart, you are the child born from the Queen Mother's knees. The Queen Mother has not watched you grow up and wants to make up for everything she owes you."
"If your mother says that again, Sisi will be moved to tears!"
Li Sixu held the queen's arm and leaned against her, and said with a sweet smile: "I have already told you, as long as your heart is at ease, you have a clear conscience, and you live your life with your heart, you will be the pure land of bliss wherever the Buddhists call it."
"That makes sense. Everything Sisi says is right. Wherever you are, there is the Pure Land of Paradise, the world of gods."
After Queen Wang finished feeding the chickens, she took her to sit down by the canal and watched with interest the little ducks swimming in the stream.
"Yang Qing said that he was born in a farmhouse before entering the palace. He lived in a short house with thatched eaves. There was a stream in front of the door. The grass was green beside the stream. His father, who had dyed white temples, was hoeing in the fields, and his mother was washing clothes by the stream. "My brother was hoeing the fields east of the stream and planting wild rice. My grandfather was weaving chicken coops in the yard. He drove the ducks into the stream to eat, and he secretly peeled a wild rice while lying at the head of the stream."
The queen told Li Sixu: "When he told me this, I yearned for him very much and envied him. But such a beautiful and peaceful life was broken, and he fell into the palace with a broken family."
