Lu Qian suddenly had an idea.
I thought of the letter given by Concubine Li.
It's clear that what Xia Nihuang hates most are those sycophants.
I thought of how timid I was just now.
No wonder she was so disgusted.
After all, the poem I memorized just now was written by Li Bai for Concubine Yang Guifei, and the poem was majestic and majestic.
As the saying goes, poems are like people. If you are a coward, you can write such a poem.
Obviously, what he said was to test Lu Qian.
Lu Qian gritted his teeth.
His eyes became a little firmer.
His eyes were no longer evasive.
"Beauty! And beauty is incomparable. And this kind of beauty is the kind of beauty that can only be seen from a distance but not played with." Lu Qian and Xia Nihuang's eyes met, and their eyes became more determined.
Xia Nihuang's cold face showed a faint smile and said, "That's good."
After saying that, with a wave of their hands, several eunuchs helped Lu Qian loosen his bonds.
Lu Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you the eunuch in charge here?" Xia Nihuang asked after seeing Lu Qian's attire.
"Reporting to the eldest princess, that's right." Lu Qian did not avoid it deliberately, but looked at it when it was time to look, appearing neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay, show me the accommodation you arranged for me." Xia Nihuang raised her right hand as she spoke.
A young eunuch beside him stepped forward nervously.
In her nervousness, she accidentally touched Xia Nihuang's hand.
Xia Nihuang frowned slightly and just turned to look at the little eunuch aside.
The little eunuch was so frightened that his legs weakened. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy with his hands and mouth, "Eldest Princess, have mercy on me... The little one deserves to die... The little one deserves to die."
While begging for mercy, my pants got wet.
Xia Nihuang's expression of disgust became even worse, and she said coldly, "I will spare your life, go and cut off his hand."
Speaking of which, it was the same eunuchs who were very neat and tidy.
Along with a burst of screams, the eunuch covered his severed hand and howled in pain.
What frightened Lu Qian the most was that this female devil just looked at him without even frowning.
Everyone present was shocked.
The people following Xia Nihuang seemed accustomed to it.
Xia Nihuang looked at Lu Qian and said unhurriedly, "Come on."
Lu Qian wanted to die. He took a few deep breaths, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand.
Seeing Lu Qian's frightened look, Xia Nihuang smiled lightly.
A pair of weak, boneless hands gently rested on his wrist.
He gently helped Xia Nihuang away, only to see a very cold-looking palace maid following him. Several other eunuchs who specialized in torturing Xia Nihuang did not follow.
Lu Qian finally let out a sigh of relief.
Help Xia Nihuang into the house.
Xia Nihuang looked around the room in surprise.
Because the room is different from the cold outside, the whole room is very warm.
The burning agarwood is her favorite floral scent.
Although the furnishings in the room are far less luxurious than her bedroom.
However, it can be seen that the arrangement was carefully arranged, especially the plates of orchids that attracted Xia Nihuang's attention.
He walked up, gently sniffed the fragrance of the orchids, and then asked sharply, "Tell me... who taught you to arrange it like this."
Lu Qian learned from the lesson of the person who had his hand chopped off just now that this female devil hates that kind of soft head, and said in a firm voice, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Princess, I wonder if there is something wrong. These are small arrangements and no one is here to teach them."
Fortunately, Xia Nihuang did not pursue the question. Instead, she was very curious about the heating stove in the room.
Although she didn't know the principle, she knew that it was what kept the whole room warm.
When Lu Qian saw this, he began to explain.
Xia Nihuang heard that Lu Qian had researched it himself, and said with some appreciation in her eyes, "I didn't expect that there are eunuchs like you in the palace!"
Lu Qian smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Thank you for your compliments, Princess Xie."
Xia Nihuang said calmly, "Go and prepare for me. I need to cleanse myself and take a bath before chanting sutras!"
"Reporting to the eldest princess, there is no bathing pool in the Ancestral Temple, only a bathtub... Please forgive me." Lu Qian said, fearing that Xia Nihuang would be angry.
Xia Nihuang looked at Lu Qian and said, "Just use the tub to take a bath here. Go get ready."
Lu Qian nodded and hurried out.
The oppression of this female devil is really too strong.
Go out and quickly greet people and get ready.
...
"Yin Yue, go and find out who this eunuch is?"
"A eunuch who is actually proficient in poetry? Moreover, the layout of the room clearly indicates that he has investigated me."
"Whether it's the smell of agarwood, orchids, or even the color and texture of the bedding, they are all my favorite. Obviously, this is not a coincidence. It's just a matter of preference!"
Xia Nihuang looked at the decoration in the room with a cold face and said to the cold palace maid beside her.
Yinyue nodded and said, "Your Highness, Princess, do you want to arrest him first? Torture him."
Xia Nihuang raised her hand slightly and said, "No, you go ahead."
"Who will take care of my queen when she takes a bath?" Yin Yue asked expressionlessly.
"Let that eunuch take care of you. I would like to see what kind of medicine this eunuch sells in his gourd."
Yinyue nodded and walked out without saying much.
...
As soon as he walked out, he saw Zhang Bao looking around in the middle hall.
I saw Lu Qian walking out of the house.
Zhang Bao pretended to patrol and walked to Lu Qian's side.
"Are you okay? What are you thinking? The eldest princess is here. Are you going to take sick leave?" Zhang Bao asked Lu Qian with concern.
Seeing that Zhang Bao was really worried about him, Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "If I leave, the maids and eunuchs here will suffer. I am their manager, how can I be a coward at this time?" "
When Zhang Bao saw what Lu Qian said, he showed approval on his face. He punched Lu Qian's chest lightly and said, "As expected of my Zhang Bao brother, you are so loyal and well done! But you yourself are also Be smart. By the way, you must not reveal that you are close to the people in Jingren Palace. Even if the eldest princess asks, you have to tell them away and pretend not to know each other!"
Lu Qian asked in surprise, "Why?"
"It was because Li Xiaozheng recommended General Yang Ben to fight in the war. It was that battle that led to the death of General Huwei Yang Ben on the battlefield! It also made the newly married eldest princess a widow. Since then, the eldest princess and Jingren Palace The people have been dealt with!" Zhang Bao whispered to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang! I'll treat you to hot pot another day."
Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and said, "If you can see Princess Pinghuang away alive, I'll treat you to a drink."
...
"Master Manager! Everything is ready." Little Plum hurried over and said.
Lu Qian nodded and said, "Ready, send it in. What do you say to me..."
Little Plum looked ugly and said, "Princess, I have appointed you to take care of the bath!"
