Since coming out of Yaohua Pavilion, Baozhu has been a little distracted. His feet were also a little fluttery, and if Yue Slave hadn't been holding him up, he wouldn't have known how he would have walked away.
Yue Nu looked at Baozhu's blank expression, gritted his teeth, and spoke anyway: "My dear concubine, since the queen has thrown out a branch of intention to form an alliance to us, why don't we seize this opportunity?"
When Baozhu heard this, his steps suddenly stopped. With a cloud of worry gathering between his brows, Yue Nu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Girl, good girl. We can't forget why we came to Li Country."
Baozhu closed her eyes in pain and raised her head. The sun was shining brightly, but her body was still cold.
Bao Zhu took a long breath, and his tense shoulders collapsed. He murmured: "Yue Slave, but I always feel that there is no such thing as a pie in the world."
When Yue Nu was about to say something, a figure flashed out from the flowers. Baozhu and Yuenu both turned their heads, it turned out to be Fang Guiren.
Fang Gui came walking in the shadow of flowers. It was obvious that she was a woman who had been educated by a noble family. The white forehead and red lips resemble the unknown narcissus on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
"Song Guibi, why are you here alone?" Fang Guiren greeted politely, trying to catch the unusual look on Baozhu's face.
Baozhu put on a decent smile and said that she had just come out of the queen's palace. Fang Guiren said oh, and both of them strolled forward in understanding.
"It was previously rumored that there was a girl from the Mi Gen Kingdom who was so famous that she danced across the Fish City. Later, she was favored by the prince and was sent to the Li Kingdom to become a noble concubine. Now that I see her, she is indeed extraordinary."
Fang Guiren said this calmly, but Baozhu didn't know for a moment whether she was trying to get close to him or ridiculing Baozhu.
It's true that he moved to Yueyu City, but it's also true that he was left in this floating scale palace for a year. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, even Baozhu himself doesn't know.
"Sister, you are too flattering." Not knowing whether he was a friend or an enemy, Baozhu had no choice but to pretend to be dumbfounded and act wisely to protect himself.
Fang Guiren laughed softly, "Your concubine is above me in rank. I'm afraid I can't afford to be called a sister."
Baozhu paused and imitated Fang Guiren in holding her hand in a false way. "My sister is talking about qualifications here. My sister is naturally more qualified than me."
It was Fang Guiren's turn to be stunned by this move. The smile on his face was a little stiff, but he quickly squeezed out a smile and spoke politely.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Baozhu was about to find an excuse to leave, but Fang Guiren beat him to it.
"I am preparing to go to Concubine Shu's palace. Why don't you come with us?"
Facing Fang Guiren's invitation, Baozhu was a little surprised. Fang Guiren looked at her and said nothing and then explained: "Sister is not feeling well today and cannot meet with you."
Fang Guiren took Baozhu's arm affectionately and walked in the other direction.
"But, from now on, we are all people who are in the harem, and we will see each other sooner or later. Come on, I will take you to meet the imperial concubine."
Baozhu was being held by Fang Guiren, and he couldn't withdraw his hand, so he could only follow her footsteps.
Along the way, Fang Guiren was telling Baozhu about Concubine Shu's deeds, how her mother's family had outstanding military achievements, how she had been favored by no one in the harem for ten years, Baozhu could only smile in agreement.
As morning and dusk settled, Baozhu could vaguely see that the Queen and Concubine Shu were not getting along, and Concubine Shu would not be an easy host to get along with.
The noble man said that he and the concubine had known each other since childhood, and it seemed that they were in the concubine's party. Bao Zhu sighed silently in her heart. At this time, she did not want to participate in these struggles at all.
But at that time, how could one understand the simple orb. Even if she doesn't want to, she will never be able to avoid these things in her life.
After half a moment, Fang Guiren's footsteps stopped at a pavilion by the lake.
Baozhu recognized this pavilion. Baozhu especially liked this pavilion when he first explored the floating scale palace.
Half of it is built on the water, with an extended platform where you can watch waterbirds floating on the water and lotus flowers in bloom. After making a pot of tea and tasting some snacks, Bao Zhu felt that she could sit there all afternoon.
It says Tingyu Pavilion, which perfectly complements this unique pavilion. After waiting for the palace officials to explain, Baozhu and his party walked in.
Entering the inner hall, a huge screen blocked Baozhu's view. It depicts a vast grassland, with a pair of horses galloping.
But if you look carefully, you can see that the leader is a heroic woman.
The screen is made of gauze, and it vaguely outlines the figure of a woman lying on a beauty's couch with her back to the orb.
A palace maid came forward and opened the screen from the middle to both sides. Baozhu couldn't help but admire in his heart, the craftsmanship is really ingenious.
At this moment, I finally saw the beauty lying on the couch clearly. Her hair was tied up in a loose bun, with a green hosta inserted diagonally.
It seemed like a good dream, slightly scattered. The moon-white clothes on her body look simple, but are full of dark lines. They should be moonlight silk worth no less than a hundred gold.
An arm resting on the side of the waist looked boneless and as white as moonlight silk.
Just when Baozhu was in awe, Fang Guiren beside him took the lead in saluting and said: "I don't know that the imperial concubine is taking a nap, but it was my concubine who disturbed her."
"It's okay," Concubine Shu's lazy voice sounded, "I was just about to get up, and Fang Ru you came."
Bao Zhu didn't know why he held his breath subconsciously. The imperial concubine on the couch slowly turned her head, and Bao Zhu's heart seemed to be hit.
What kind of face is that? Baozhu had read the story of the beacon fire opera on the princes before, and felt that King You of Zhou was really stupid.
But if she is as beautiful as Concubine Shu, so what if she teases the princes just to get a smile from the beauty.
The eyes are like horizontal waves, the nose is like hanging bile, and the red lips are a little smaller, which combine to create such a beautiful face.
The phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the thick eyelashes like fans seemed to be delicate and delicate without makeup, resting on Baozhu's body with a playful meaning.
"What is this?" Beiqi touched lightly, and Baozhu came back to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly saluted and introduced himself.
"Concubine Song Baozhu, pay your respects to Concubine Shu." Baozhu's eyes returned to the carpet, but his heart was still shaken by Concubine Shu's beauty.
No wonder she has been favored for ten years, and even Baozhu, the most beautiful woman in the world, is ashamed.
"Oh, you are the woman from the Mi Gen Kingdom." Concubine Shu was helped to stand up slowly, and sat down leisurely on the chair, but did not let Baozhu get up.
Baozhu listened to the sound of the cups colliding, and his hanging hand couldn't help but start to tremble a little. The person opposite seemed to have seen it, and then he said lightly that he would give me a seat.
After Baozhu and Fang Guiren sat down, Fang Guiren impatiently complained to Concubine Shu about Liu Guiren's face when she woke up this morning.
Concubine Shu held her face with one hand, her eyes wandered over Baozhu's body, and she just replied lightly.
Then he interrupted Fang Guiren impatiently and faced Baozhu. "I heard that Concubine Song came to this floating palace a year ago. Are you still used to everything?"
"Habit, get used to it." Baozhu answered truthfully.
Concubine Shu had a smile on her lips and unknown emotions in her eyes as she continued: "We will all be sisters from now on. You don't have to be restrained when you see me."
Baozhu didn't know why the imperial concubine kept staring at him, and felt some chills running down his spine, so he had to say yes.
A quarter of an hour later, he walked out of Tingyu Pavilion. Fang Guiren wanted to continue talking to Concubine Shu, so he stayed.
After hurriedly walking away, Baozhu suddenly stopped and held Yue Nu's hand tightly. Yue Nu looked at Baozhu worriedly and quickly asked what was wrong.
Baozhu looked solemn and spoke firmly from his lips: "Yue Slave, we must not get involved between the concubine and the queen."
Yue Nu, who was not familiar with the world, let out a confused sound, wondering why Baozhu suddenly said this.
Bao Zhu felt that she was like fish on the chopping board at this time, but she didn't know whether the one who was going to kill her was the queen or the concubine.
Baozhu keenly sensed that although the harem of Li Kingdom seemed peaceful, it was actually turbulent. Baozhu has no power. If he gets involved, he will be at the mercy of others.
On the way back, we passed Youchun Garden. Concubine Rong was waiting at the door, as if she knew the orb would come.
Baozhu knowingly asked Yue Nu to go up to the small kitchen to get some pastries. Because of His Majesty's arrival, he ate a lot more.
Concubine Rong took it with a smile when she saw the food box, opened it and started gobbling it down. Bao Zhu quickly said, "Slow down, slow down, be careful not to choke."
The claustrophobic life of more than a year has made Baozhu feel a lot of pity for women. But Baozhu couldn't let her out, so he could only bring some food and clothes from time to time.
Over time, Concubine Rong also began to know Baozhu. It's just that I never call her noble concubine, but little girl.
Looking at Concubine Rong who was as stupid as a child, Baozhu sighed helplessly. There is no way to resolve the troubles. I can only talk about what I saw and heard today.
When Baozhu finished speaking, Concubine Rong, whose mouth was full of pastries and her eyes were dull, stopped and hurriedly grabbed Baozhu's arm with dirty hands.
"Little girl," Concubine Rong's eyes were filled with fear, "You must be careful, you must!"
Baozhu looked at Concubine Rong's fear. It didn't look like she was talking like crazy, but it seemed like it was spreading from the bottom of her heart.
Baozhu asked with some confusion: "What are you careful about?"
But Concubine Rong's eyes immediately turned into a dull and unfocused look, and she ran back to the inner hall saying "It's not me, it's not me."
Baozhu sighed and returned to Lanyue Pavilion silently.
At night, the orbs were placed early. But lying on the bed, the Queen's words in Yaohua Pavilion today were like a nightmare creeping into his mind, making Baozhu upset.
"Song Guifei must think clearly. If you are not favored, you will have no choice but to die in this floating palace for the rest of your life."
The queen changed her gentle demeanor, her tone was cold and unquestionable with dignity.
"And your face," the Queen's armor lifted up Baozhu's drooping face, forcing Baozhu to look at her. "It's such a shame to die here."
Baozhu's bewildered eyes were full of panic. Fortunately, the queen quickly let go of her hand, walked to the window and coffin, and teased the parrot.
"Song Guibi, please think clearly for yourself, do you want countless glory and wealth, or..." the parrot yelled wealth, wealth!
Bao Zhu bit her lip and stared at the uppers of her shoes.
"I'll continue to be a noble concubine in the floating scale palace." These were the queen's last words, but Bao Zhu didn't think it was a discussion, just a warning.
Baozhu couldn't remember how he got out, and that fear still lingers in his mind. Baozhu looked at the dark top of the bed and fell asleep at some point while struggling.
