but.
King Han's plan failed again.
This kind of wise-cracking strategy is full of absurd clichés. The King of Qin, who was cold-hearted and disliked women, ignored them and sent these Korean women directly to Han Fei's palace.
Today, Han Fei lives in a remote palace of the Qin Palace, with no call from the King of Qin and no visitors from outside. He simply stayed in the palace and did not go out. He played the xun and drank wine every day, listening to the bamboo forest and enjoying himself.
But when a roomful of women from South Korea crowded into the hall, Han Fei, who was not afraid of danger and calm in chaos, turned half black.
In particular, this group of concubines also dreamed of leaping over the farm gates, trying to become the princess of Qin.
A Korean girl said: "I think this Qin Palace is very lively. The pillars are tall, thick and big, and the paintings are all new. Look at what is painted on it, and the ornaments are bright and bright." The stone is there.”
"This is called a gem. There is a wall outside, and I see it is covered with decorations." A Korean girl put her hands on her hips and said, "Didn't you notice?"
There was a tall Korean girl who stepped on her feet and danced a unique Korean dance. She spun around and grabbed the hem of her skirt and said, "Also, the cloths given to us are all new. In the past, in Korea, they could I can only pick up linen clothes and wear them.”
"Isn't that right? I just stayed in the Qin Palace for the past few days. I ate all rice, soy beef and mutton, slept on freshly dried furs, and there were also serving maids. I saw the hairpins they wore. I was there before. I have never seen anything in South Korea." A Korean woman said with a longing face, "Oh, it would be great if I could always live in the Qin Palace in the future."
The other Korean girls all expressed hope, "Yes, it would be great if I could live in the Qin Palace forever."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The voice could be described as cold, like an extremely thin needle piercing their dreams.
The noisy Korean girl suddenly fell silent, and Meijun stood up, swinging her waist like a willow branch in spring, with a smile on her beautiful face, "We were given to King Qin by the king, that is. The woman of King Qin, King Qin is also our husband’s family, so naturally we can always live in our husband’s family.”
She has always been the centerpiece of this group of beauties, and she has always been the most thoughtful.
When everyone heard this, they all took her as the leader, "Yes! Miss Meijun is right. We marry chickens and dogs and we marry chickens and dogs. This is not the Qin Palace, this is our husband's family."
"Yes, that's right. Since we are married out of the country and can't live in the Qin Palace, where can we live in the future?"
"Yes, my father said that a daughter who leaves the house is like water thrown out."
Meijun smiled. She looked at the noisy surroundings with a smile, as if she was an existence that transcended all living beings and the world. After speaking, she glanced at Han Fei who was in the upper position.
Han Fei was indifferent, his beautiful eyes were a little impatient, and he just drank silently.
He is just an outcast from Korea.
Meijun dismissed it. She raised the wine glass in front of her, exhaled orchidally and said, "As the saying goes, do as the Romans do in the country. At home, we have to listen to the words of our father and mother-in-law. Now that we are married, we naturally have to go to see the Queen Mother Huayang so that she can take care of her. Being able to see the good news that her grandson is about to bloom."
"Yeah."
Seeing that the Queen Mother Huayang was a recognition of her status, the Korean women hurriedly agreed, and then asked, "But how can I go to see the Queen Mother Huayang?"
The beautiful lady was about to answer, but Han Fei raised his eyelids and rarely interrupted, "The Queen Mother Huayang has lived in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't like to be disturbed. If you go to see her, it will only increase her disgust."
"What should we do?"
"Staying here is not a problem. We have to find a way to let the Queen Mother see us!"
"Yes, if you don't see us, we are all dishonest."
"When we come to Korea, the King of Han wants us to serve King Qin well."
All the Korean girls were chattering.
With meekness and surrender, the beautiful lady poured wine for Han Fei and said, "From what Your Highness sees, what should we do?"
"Now the Qin Palace and the harem are empty, there is only one person." Han Fei raised his stern eyebrows and wiped the lip stains on his wine glass, "This person is an orphan from the Zhao Kingdom and the childhood sweetheart of the young King of Qin - Little Master Bai. That is to say, the future Queen of Qin, the future mistress of the Palace of Qin, as long as you go to see her and kowtow to her, now that she has met you, you will be the concubine from South Korea. If she does not see you, she will end up alone. Jealousy can't tolerate people's names. What is right and what is wrong, this little master Bai will naturally be able to figure it out."
Meijun has not expressed his position yet.
Another Korean woman said hurriedly, "Yes, she dares not to see us. Even if she doesn't see us, there are thousands of concubines from various countries. If she can't tolerate it, she won't be the only one who is angry."
"Pfft."
Everyone covered their lips and laughed happily.
Meijun thought for a while, then smiled slowly, bent down and saluted Han Fei, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice."
The other Korean women also said sweetly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Han Fei slowly closed his eyes and tapped the bronze wine glass with his finger bones. The sound made by the wine glass was clear and melodious.

Baitao felt that she was really unlucky this morning.
Last night, I was joking and playing with Brother Zheng until midnight. In the end, he rushed to the court and kneaded her a lot before going to court. He finally got some sleep and went back to sleep. The people below came to report what Han said. The woman came to say hello.
The feeling of returning to the cage was interrupted, and Baitao couldn't open his eyes in confusion.
Although please accept this way. She is familiar.
In the past, when Brother Zheng was just a prince, she had to follow him to greet the Empress Dowager Huayang, greet Aunt Zhao, and greet the late king, but now there is no need to greet her.
There was no need to say hello, but someone else came to her to say hello. But she is not an elder, she has no relatives or sisters-in-law, no father or mother above her, she only has a fox brother.
She was all clean, yet someone jumped out of nowhere and greeted her.
"Korean girl? Where did the Korean girl come from?"
Baitao asked the serving maid with a tone of voice that didn't wake her up. At this time, Rui'er from outside came in with food. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was angry. She was so angry that she almost steamed her snow-white face into a shortbread with crispy skin and tender inside.
Rui'er was also very angry, "There are all these country bumpkins popping up out of the nooks and crannies, a bunch of women raised by Han Shui, born in a small country, and they dare to come to greet you, my little master?"
Baitao felt that what she said was reasonable, so she lifted the quilt and lay down again: "Yes, I don't know them, so there is no need to ask me for greetings."
"Your Majesty has already given them to Korean masters. It's shameless to still stick with them." Rui'er frowned and said, "We still think they are in Korea. They are so majestic, but the slaves looked at them in the past few days. It’s not like the honest villagers would gather together like this, could they be instigated by others?”
"right."
Bai Tao was covered in quilt and yawned, showing her long fox teeth.
At this time, the overflowing fragrance of shortbread wafted into her nose, tickling her nose. Her nose twitched twice, and she half-lyed down. She looked at the shortbread on her lacquer plate, her eyes filled with excitement. Agree.
Rui'er looked at her aggrievedly and said, "Little Master, you are too kind that they dare to be so presumptuous. If you don't give them a few good fruits to eat, they won't know how to retreat in spite of difficulties."
ah? There is still good fruit to eat in the morning.
Why not serve them together?
Immediately retracting the fox tail that came out from the quilt, Baitao nodded softly and said, "Yes, let's eat a few fruits first."
Rui'er received her approval and smiled, "Yes, I obey."
"go Go."
The white peach turned over, waiting for her good fruit to be eaten.
*
The sun was setting outside, and partridges were jumping up and down on the branches with their feathers raised. The solemn and solemn Qin Palace was rarely filled with a group of flowers, red willows, and birds.
The late king was not fond of women, and his harem was empty with only a few good men and eight characters. Now he has moved them all to a separate palace. Up to now, Ying Zheng is not even close to women, and there is only a small master in the harem.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene.
Rui'er walked out with dignity.
A group of Korean girls stood at the entrance of the temple and did not notice her. They got tired of waiting and gathered around to talk to each other. They all wore extremely bright white orchids on their heads, lightly stroked their eyebrows, and applied white powder on their faces. After putting on rouge, her frown and smile were endlessly noisy, as if she wanted to compare herself to others.
Lazy and disgusting.
The moment she saw Rui'er stepping out of the door, a Korean girl among them had sharp eyes and shouted in panic: "The daughter of the people pays homage to the little master Bai. The little master is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
As if they were afraid of falling behind, the others all fell silent and knelt down one after another, squeezing out the strength to suck milk, "The daughter of the people pays homage to the little master Bai. The little master is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Rui'er's expression was calm. She had been in charge for many years, which had already added a layer of coercion and weight to her aura.
And with the Baitao Oral Order, she doesn't need to wear the same clothes as the palace maid.
Walking in this solemn palace, her ornaments did not waver, and even the honeysuckle pattern on her sleeves looked extremely quiet and depressing.
Among the pile of heads, only one person did not kneel, and that was Meijun. She bowed to Rui'er, her voice was soft and clear, and she spoke like beads, "A common girl has met my aunt, and my aunt is blessed."
Rui'er looked at her face carefully and said, "You are quite smart."
The other Korean girls heard that she was not Xiaozhu Bai, which was a huge embarrassment. The reason was that the Qin Palace was extremely luxurious, and even the clothes of the palace maids of the Han Dynasty were thousands of miles away from the palace maids of the Han Dynasty. Embarrassed, they stood up and looked at each other.
Mei Jun said respectfully: "I don't dare, but I have heard that Aunt Rui, who works for Little Master Bai, has a beautiful heart and a good heart, and she is very pleased with her."
"oh?"
Rui'er smiled and said, "You are well-informed, and your mouth is particularly beautiful."
She opened her lips and was about to say more, but she didn't expect Rui'er to raise her hand and give her a slap, with a loud and deep "snap".
Immediately, Meijun’s face was red and swollen with large fingerprints.
Meijun covered her face and looked at her in disbelief, "You"
Rui'er waved her hand, "You have a beautiful mouth, but your life is cheap. It's useless if you can't hold it up. I wonder why there are gusts of evil wind blowing in the Qin Palace this morning. Tell me, is it you? Instigated them to come to pay their respects?"
Meijun lowered his head, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and knelt on the ground with a thud, "It's absolutely nothing, aunt."
Then he stretched out his hand and pulled her robe and begged, "Aunt, it was not the beautiful king who instigated it. It was the daughters of the people who knew the fate of their sons and daughters. The only thing they can do is to do their best and serve the King of Qin with all their heart, so that they can live up to it." The great trust of the King of Han.”
When he saw her, he even moved King Han out.
Rui'er even laughed and said, "What kind of fate are you going to serve the King of Qin, so you have to use this lowly life to serve him?" She suddenly pulled the white orchid on her head and asked the Han girl kneeling behind her, "Look, look, what kind of flowers do you wear because of your life?"
"You are only worthy of wearing the wild flowers in the fields, but you must also wear this precious white orchid."
She said coldly, "The white orchids you are wearing on your hair are not allowed to be picked. If everyone in the palace is like you, how can there be any scenery? The ashes abandoned in the market still need to be tattooed. Qianmian, let alone you dare to pluck the flowers grown in the palace privately."
"In the Qin State, anyone who defies the palace rules so much should be tattooed and exiled!"
After hearing this, the Korean girls were spinning.
They just want to decorate themselves so as to win favor. When they see someone picking it, they all follow suit. He even wanted to compete with Little Master Bai. With such ambition, how could he ever expect to encounter the strict Qin law, which country and law prohibits even picking flowers? !
For a moment, my mind went blank.
"Aunt, aunt, we were wrong. We will never pick it again. No, we won't touch it, and we won't even look at it. We, we don't want to be exiled with tattoos." The Korean girls cried miserably. The makeup on her face was mushy, "Auntie, please show some mercy. We will do our best to repay auntie."
Rui'er was silent.
The Korean girls were left crying, frightened, and confused. Finally, I asked again, "Don't you say yes? Who instigated you to dare to come here to pay respects."
The Korean girls struggled fiercely in their hearts. Soon, they couldn't afford to offend Han Fei and carried Meijun out. "It was him. It was Meijun who instigated us to do this. Auntie, it was not our intention to bother the young master. Please, please Auntie, please give us a noble hand and let us go."
Rui'er looked at the kneeling Meijun again.
Meijun was not afraid in the face of danger. She bit her lip, raised her head, and said with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, we are all tribute girls from South Korea to Qin. I'm afraid you don't have the authority to deal with it like this. In case there is a quarrel between the two countries. There are conflicts between states and wars are raging everywhere. I am afraid that even my aunt will not be able to reply to the King of Qin. "
"Snapped."
Without saying a word, Rui'er slapped her again, "Being from a weak country, you have no right to speak. What's more, you are just a nameless tribute girl. If you really meet your master, the quasi-queen of Great Qin, you will be derelict in your duties." I am a slave, tell me, how should I reply to the King of Qin?"
After saying that, without waiting for her to react, he said sternly, "Come here, this woman is guilty of the crime. Immediately throw her into the dungeon!"
"No, you can't do this to me. I am a member of the King of Han, and I have been ordered by the King of Han." Meijun struggled, but she was still held down by the two thick-armed nuns, and she jumped over the wall in a hurry. He shouted towards the inside, "Baitao, the orphan girl of the Zhao Kingdom, is now the master of the harem and the role model for all women. Is the future Queen of Qin so shallow-sighted that she can't tolerate anyone?!"
The palace was a little deeper, and her sharp voice soon rippled out. Not only the third palace, but also the sixth palace could hear it.
"If you kill us today, the news will spread to the ears of the six countries and the people of Xianyang in the future. How will you convince the public in the future? Do you want to be a virtuous queen or a jealous queen?"
Baitao, who was waiting for good fruits to eat in the palace, was sleeping vaguely in his cage. When he suddenly heard such impassioned words, it seemed that they were directed at him, and he got up as fast as he could.
"What's going on? Why do I still hear someone calling me?"
The fox ears hidden in the double-snail bun moved.
There were sounds of beatings and torture outside, and there was a constant groaning sound, accompanied by the woman's cries. She was debating whether to abandon the bed and go out to take a look, when she heard the sound of Brother Zheng returning from the court.
alright.
Nothing happened. The sky was falling, but there was still a tall person holding it up.
With four paws spread out, Baitao pulled the quilt and lay down safely.
There was the cold scolding of Ying Zheng outside, and finally there was the cry of a group of warblers and swallows, and then there was the sound of cloth rubbing against the floor. No matter how noisy it was, even if the sky fell, there was no way to wake up this snoozing bird. little fox.
Another palace maid hurriedly came in and said to her excitedly, "My young master, my young master, wake up soon. Your Majesty is here."
"Hmph. I heard it."
Fox ears have always been sensitive, which is incomparable with ordinary people's hearing. She didn't move, her lips parted slightly, her eyes rolled back in her eyelids, and she fell asleep like a flower petal containing dewy petals.
The footsteps of the palace maid faded away.
The jade pendant jingled, and Ying Zheng stepped in. He was wearing a dark court uniform with clouds and thunder patterns embroidered with silver thread. His eyes were cold and pure, and he obviously came in a hurry.
Seeing the small bulge on the bed, he lifted some of her quilts without saying a word and said, "It's three o'clock in the morning, the farmers have finished plowing the fields, the merchants are opening their doors, and the state affairs have been taken care of. How can my beloved concubine still be unable to afford it?" "
