There are all kinds of rare animals in Qianshan Garden, and even the pillars of the outer hall are made of fine golden nanmu.
Baozhu shook her fan and watched everything indifferently. Yue Nu was so shocked that she never closed her mouth. She leaned closer to the orb and said, "No wonder His Majesty likes to come to this palace. This is a hundred times more luxurious than the Floating Scale Palace."
Bao Zhu smiled, making no comment but did not answer His Majesty's words.
"I originally thought that the Floating Scale Palace was luxurious enough, but I didn't expect it to pale in comparison to this Thousand Mountains Garden." Yue Nu said in admiration.
"Alright, you have to be careful about your words and actions before we reach our dormitory," Baozhu said.
Bao Zhu's carriage stopped in a unique small courtyard. Haitang helped Bao Zhu get out of the carriage. Bao Zhu looked at the Yunli Courtyard on the plaque and it looked like it had been renovated.
Ma Dong, who had come specially with the orb, immediately came over and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty knows that Concubine Chen likes to be quiet. This Yunli Courtyard is hidden in the most prosperous and blooming part of the garden."
Baozhu listened silently, with no emotion on his face.
"Especially there is a spring in the courtyard. The water is clear and sweet, and the feng shui is very good!" Ma Dong explained with all his heart.
A decent smile appeared on Baozhu's lips, and she said slightly blessedly: "Your Majesty is interested."
When I walked into Yunli Courtyard, I realized that Ma Dong's words were not exaggerated to please. The Yunli Courtyard is lush and lush, with clear spring water.
Baozhu couldn't help but lean down and touch the water, which felt slightly cool in the summer. There are swings in the courtyard, which are the same as those in Weiyang Palace.
The layout of the inner hall is all according to Baozhu's preference, with faint incense burning.
Everyone was tacitly aware of the changes between Baozhu and Qi Junce in the past few months. Although Qi Junce never expressed his anger towards Baozhu and never treated her harshly, he still did not favor Baozhu again.
Liu Guiren and others who didn't like Baozhu in the first place were very sarcastic when they met. But Baozhu always pretended that he couldn't hear it, turned around and left.
Without children, there is no threat. Gu Linqing also regarded Baozhu as an abandoned son just like when she started Junce.
That's fine. In the past three months, all the treasures have been used to cultivate the body and mind.
But under the calm situation, only Baozhu herself knew that her heart was filled with resentment for everyone who had caused her family to be ruined.
And Baozhu looked at the luxurious scene of Qianshan Garden, and a terrible thought suddenly came to his mind.
Since everything is what Qi Junce is most proud of, one day, she, Song Baozhu, will trample under her feet and destroy Qi Junce.
After they had just settled down and were about to pass on dinner, Ma Dong hurriedly came over again, saying that Qi Junce was hosting a banquet on a small island in the lake, and asked Baozhu to join him for the fun.
Baozhu listened to Ma Dong's words, and the nails of her palms dug deeply into her flesh. Her child passed away less than half a year ago, and Qi Junce refused to pretend to be sad at all.
While making love with Concubine Li, they held a grand banquet. What a heartless man!
But the past two years of life have taught Baozhu how to disguise better. Baozhu smiled gently, coughed twice, covered his chest and said with some embarrassment: "What a coincidence, I haven't recovered yet..."
Bao Zhu raised her pitiful eyes and looked at Ma Dong longingly and continued: "I'm afraid it will be a disappointment if I go with this sick look. Please forgive me for your majesty."
Ma Dong immediately waved his hands and said, "Oh, my dear, what are you talking about? Your Majesty has specifically asked you not to force yourself if you don't want to come."
After saying that, he waved his hand and another stream of supplements came in.
"Your Majesty said, let the queen take good care of her." Ma Dong said with a smile on his face.
Bao Zhu nodded, "Then thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."
Ma Dong laughed a few times and continued: "I think the weather is so hot that even Concubine Shu is sick, so she won't be able to attend tonight's banquet."
Baozhu's eyes turned and Jiang Heng was also sick.
"The imperial concubine's sister is also ill. I don't know where she lives. I will go to the palace to see her tomorrow." Baozhu asked.
Ma Dong frowned for a while and replied: "Concubine Shu lives in Tingshan Xiaozhu, just to the east and west of you, a little far away."
Baozhu nodded, "Okay, thank you sir."
Time goes back to the night when we were about to go to Qianshan Garden. Baozhu was originally ready to be placed, but Haitang walked in mysteriously.
Yue Nu and Baozhu looked at each other, and Yue Nu carefully closed the doors and windows and went out to hold the door.
Haitang took out a scroll from her sleeve and handed it to Baozhu.
"Mother," Haitang said in a low voice, "the matter you asked my brother to inquire about has come to an end. Today, I asked an internal official who is familiar with my brother to send it in. You can take a look."
Baozhu looked at it and solemnly sealed it with fire paint. The thickness of the paper should not be underestimated. It seemed that Haitang's brother was also a prudent person.
"Thank you." Baozhu said, and Haitang withdrew.
The orb lit a candle, pulled out the ebony hairpin on his head and opened the fire-lacquer seal. By the candlelight, it seemed like looking at the first half of Jiang Heng's life on paper.
Just as Baozhu thought, the Jiang family has been sacrificing their lives and blood for the Qi family since the founding of the Li Kingdom. Most of the Jiang family members were buried in the army.
Jiang Heng's father was the general of Zhenguo, and his mother was the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, the most prominent member of the twelfth generation of Li Kingdom.
Jiang Heng was preceded by four older brothers, and finally, when General Jiang was nearly forty years old, he got a daughter like Jiang Heng. She grew up surrounded by the love of a thousand people since she was a child.
And Jiang Heng was not as rigid as other women from wealthy families. Instead, she followed her father on the grasslands of Mobei and spent her teenage years freely and freely.
Seeing this, Baozhu couldn't help but laugh.
Most of the concubines in this palace have prominent family backgrounds. If they don't become this palace concubine in time, they can still marry into a good family and live a life of raising husbands and raising children.
But after entering the palace, he can only become a being that is envied by others but suffers from a high position.
Jiang Heng's happy life has undergone earth-shaking changes since he was seventeen years old. At the annual polo conference, Jiang Heng won the first prize in one fell swoop.
Her alluring appearance, her unique free and easy temperament, and her smile while holding up the red hydrangea symbolizing victory deeply attracted Qi Junce, who left the palace incognito that year.
At the same time, earth-shaking changes took place in Jiang Heng's family.
First, signs of using words to subvert the imperial court began to appear in the court. Many books that attempted to distort imperial power began to become popular among the people, which greatly affected Qi Junce's rule.
Qi Junce was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and anyone who had forbidden books in his home would be executed. For a time, people were panicked, and everyone in the court was in danger.
By chance, a large number of banned books were found in Jiang Heng's home. For a time, the originally majestic general was imprisoned, and Jiang Heng and his brothers could not defend themselves.
At this time, Qi Junce came to Jiang Heng's side like a divine soldier descending from heaven. Not only did he defy all opinions and reinstate General Jiang's post without being punished, he even ignored the palace rules and made Jiang Heng become one of the four heroes as soon as he entered the palace. The head of the concubine.
Baozhu read this and rubbed his eyes with some soreness. But I always feel that the process of Jiang Heng's entry into the palace is a bit too smooth. Isn't this a scene where a hero saves a beauty that often appears in story books?
When Baozhu turned to the next page, he saw that Haitang's brother had written in small letters that he had obtained information from a servant of the Jiang family.
When Baozhu saw this, he sat up straight. Perhaps the servants at home would know much more than if they could just check it out directly.
A long-standing grandmother from the Jiang family once served Jiang Heng's grandmother. Because of his old age, the Jiang family not only gave him pension money, but also gave him a house in the south of the city.
Haitang's brother contacted many people, and then he learned the inside story from the old woman's mouth that others didn't know.
It turns out that Jiang Heng originally had a fiancé, but the two families did not hire him or get official documents. In addition, the Jiang family and that family were outside the customs in those years, so very few people knew about it.
The man's surname was Gao, and his name was Gao Yu. Growing up with Jiang Heng's childhood sweetheart, the two families are family friends and have a superior-subordinate relationship.
Originally, the parents of the two families had intended to get married, and Gao Yu loved Jiang Heng like a treasure. Once Jiang Heng said he wanted to eat, so he traveled halfway across the country just to find her happiness.
The close connection between Jiang Heng and Gao Yu also made the two families decide to hold a wedding for them after returning to Beijing.
But the story is never so perfect. When Gao Yu was patrolling for his father as usual, for some reason his horse lost control and galloped away.
The people who followed said that they watched Gao Yu and his horse fall off the cliff, and below was the turbulent Whistling River. Thousands of people were sent to search, but Gao Yu's body could not be found.
The young general who had a promising future ended up with no bones left. And because of his departure, Jiang Heng went without eating or drinking for ten days and was dying, almost going to follow him.
It was Mrs. Jiang who cried bitterly in front of Jiang Heng's bed for a long time that gave Jiang Heng the desire to live.
Soon after the Jiang family returned to Youzhou, something happened at home. In less than two years, Jiang Heng became the beloved concubine.
Seeing the orb here, I couldn't help but sigh. I didn't expect that Jiang Heng's appearance of being tired of the world was because he had experienced the pain of losing his beloved.
I don’t believe that she became the favorite concubine because of the power orb. Perhaps it was more because she succumbed to the pressure of Emperor Qi Junce and was grateful for saving the Jiang family.
What happened next was the story of how Jiang Heng became the beloved concubine for more than ten years. Bao Zhu just glanced at it briefly and opened another volume.
Bao Zhu frowned and glanced for a few times before closing the book in fear. In the silence, Baozhu heard the violent beating of his heart.
"Yue Slave, Yue Slave." Bao Zhu called Yue Slave, "Change my clothes. I want to see Sister Aheng."
Yue Nu changed Baozhu into the clothes of a palace maid, and asked with some worry: "Mother, is this bad? If we are discovered..."
Baozhu smiled calmly, "But there are some things that we can only do by ourselves. You put on my clothes and don't go anywhere in the house until I come back. Do you understand?"
Yue Nu nodded. When Baozhu was about to leave, his hand hesitated on the veil, but he still grabbed it and put it in his arms.
Baozhu followed the direction Haitang told him and hurried towards Tingshan Xiaozhu. Before he reached the door, he saw Xiaoman who was taking medicine for Jiang Heng.
Xiaoman looked at Baozhu in a palace maid's uniform with some surprise, but he also understood what happened and led Baozhu in.
Jiang Heng slumped down with some discomfort, but when he saw the arrival of the orb, he reluctantly sat up.
Bao Zhu chatted with her for a few words, and Jiang Heng asked Bao Zhu directly if there was anything important, otherwise he wouldn't have come in disguise late at night.
Bao Zhu gritted her teeth and said with determination, "Sister Aheng, would you like to practice with me?"
Jiang Heng asked with some confusion: "What to do?"
Baozhu's eyes were fierce, and he lowered his voice and said the words word by word.
"Kill, Qi Junce."
