The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was located to the north of Nanliang, facing the sea to the east, and the empress was in charge of the country.
The empress has four daughters, namely the four palaces of east, west, north and south.
The West Palace is the palace of the fourth princess, Emperor Luoxi.
Long Chen followed the young eunuch into the West Palace. The palace here was luxurious, with flowers and trees everywhere, and a faint feminine fragrance emerged.
The characteristic of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was that women were in power, while men's status was low. The harem was basically all women, and eunuchs were mainly placed in the palace to do menial work.
There are stunning beauties everywhere, with sweet laughter and a faint scent of rouge.
It was the first time for Long Chen to come to this kind of place!
The little eunuch noticed Long Chen's strange behavior and scolded him in a low voice: "Little Longzi, don't think about those useless things. You have become an eunuch, what are you thinking about!"
"When you get here, you must remember that you must not look up at the fourth princess. Any eunuch who dares to look up at the fourth princess will die. Remember this!"
Long Chen was so frightened that he shrank his neck and quickly imitated the little eunuch and looked at his toes.
"Xiao Guizi, why is there only one eunuch? We are still short of four!"
He came face to face with a plump palace maid. This woman was Su Yourong, the master of the West Palace.
The little eunuch smiled respectfully and said: "Auntie, most of the eunuchs in the cleansing room have just arrived and have not recovered yet. This one is ready and will be brought to you."
Su Yourong glanced at Long Chen and said, "Raise your head!"
Long Chen raised his head and glanced at Su Yourong casually. He was about 30 years old, with a round face and average appearance, but with an excellent figure.
"what is it call?"
"Xiao Longzi."
"Remember, in the West Palace, you have to lower your head to do things. This is the last time you raise your head. From now on, you should look at your toes when walking. Remember!"
"Remember Auntie."
"The princess is taking a bath. Go to the kitchen to get some water."
"yes!"
Long Chen felt excited. He had just entered the palace and such a good thing happened.
According to memory, the empress and the four princesses of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were all stunningly beautiful.
But the strange thing is that it is said that the empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty never got married, but she could have children. This is a blood inheritance.
Similarly, the four princesses were beautiful and fragrant, but they did not recruit consorts.
When they got to the kitchen, the palace maid boiled two buckets of hot water and asked Long Chen to take him to the bathroom.
Although Long Chen had lost all his martial arts skills, he was a general and still had strength. He carried two buckets of water and walked to the bathroom.
It was already the middle of winter, it was snowy outside, charcoal was burning in the bathroom, the water vapor was thick, and the temperature was over 30 degrees.
In the middle of the bathroom is a large bathing pool. The eunuchs and maids are pouring water into it, and flower petals are scattered on the water.
A tall and plump woman wearing a light pink dress was sitting next to him, holding a book in her hand.
This girl is Emperor Luo Xi, the princess of Dongzhou.
Long Chen felt disappointed. He thought the princess was taking a bath, but she turned out to be reading a book...
"Princess, you have such a good figure, my servants are jealous of you."
A maid with an excellent figure stretched out her slender hands and was squeezing Di Luoxi's shoulders.
"Xuan Yi, fortunately you are a woman. If you were a eunuch and dared to say this, I would have killed you long ago."
Another maid with a charming figure scooped up a ladle of water and tested the temperature.
These are Di Luoxi's two personal maids: Xuan Yi and Qing Yue.
"Which eunuch dares to say that? Even if he takes a look, his eyes will be gouged out."
Long Chen carried a bucket of water and walked quietly to the side of the bath. He poured the hot water into the pool...
Di Luoxi was sitting next to her reading a book. Through her thin clothes, she could see her beautiful figure...
"Huh? You dare to peek at this princess! Take it down!"
Di Luoxi suddenly turned around and yelled at Long Chen.
Long Chen felt like shit, this woman's intuition is too terrifying, isn't she able to detect this?
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue immediately appeared beside Long Chen and captured Long Chen on the spot.
"How brave you are to peek at the princess!"
"Tell me, gouge out your eyes or behead your head!"
These two maids were extremely skilled in martial arts and held Long Chen firmly.
Long Chen really couldn't hold back and glanced at Di Luoxi secretly, but he could swear that it was just a glance.
I didn’t expect that Di Luoxi would be so alert, could he even notice this?
The most important thing is that Di Luoxi was reading with her clothes on. Even if she peeked, what would happen?
If Di Luoxi was taking a bath, Long Chen was guilty of taking a peek. The problem was that Di Luoxi was reading!
Depend on! This is also sinful!
"I didn't, I didn't peek at the princess, I was reading a book."
Long Chen would not admit the fact that he was spying on the princess even if he wanted to. He has lost all his martial arts skills now. If he admits it, he will only die.
Even if you don't die, you will be disabled if you take out your eyes... How about becoming a blind swordsman?
There are so many beauties in the palace, why do you want to be a blind swordsman?
We must save our lives and our eyes.
"Reading? You are a little eunuch, can you read?"
The fourth princess, Di Luo Xi, stood up slowly and walked over. She looked at Long Chen coldly, feeling a domineering pressure.
Di Luoxi is a military general with a murderous spirit!
Long Chen said quickly: "The younger one comes from a scholarly family, and he became a eunuch after his family suffered a disaster."
Di Luoxi walked up to him and sneered: "A scholarly family? Then tell me, what about that book just now?"
Di Luoxi's eyes were cold, and her tone was even colder. She had murderous intentions, and Long Chen could feel it.
"That's nonsense! This person doesn't understand poetry at all!"
Long Chen's tone was firm. He had to speak absolutely, so that he could survive.
"Oh? Do you know whose poetic theory this is? This is the work of Yu Shinan, a master of poetry in Nanliang. All literati in the world write poems according to his poetic theory. How dare you say nonsense!"
Di Luoxi stretched out her slender jade fingers, placed them on Long Chen's chin, and slowly raised her head.
Long Chen slowly raised his head... Looking at the princess in front of him, Long Chen couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
There was killing intent in Di Luoxi's beautiful eyes. She felt that Long Chen was teasing her, and there was something obviously wrong with this look!
"He said that poetry should be beautiful and beautiful, which is a child's trick. The so-called: poetry expresses aspirations, songs always express words, aspirations are in the heart, and poems are spoken."
"Poetry is about artistic conception, not rhetoric. Yu Shinan makes no sense."
Long Chen was a time traveler and couldn't remember who Yu Shinan was. The original owner of his body was a military general who only knew about fighting and didn't care about poetry at all.
But Long Chen had read Liu Xie's "Wen Xin Diao Long", which contained a discussion on how to write poetry.
Long Chen's arm was held by the two maids Xuan Yi and Qing Yue, and he couldn't move like a prisoner!
Di Luoxi was shocked by Long Chen's words.
"Poetry expresses ambition, song always speaks, what is in the heart is ambition, and speech becomes poetry."
Di Luoxi tasted this passage carefully and found that it was indeed better than Yu Shinan's poetic theory.
"Then you write a poem and see if it's good. I, the princess, will spare your life."
Di Luoxi suspected that Long Chen had heard about it and wanted to test whether he could compose poetry on the spot.
Long Chen turned his head and saw a plum tree blooming in the snow outside the window, and chanted: "There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone. I know it's not snow from afar, because there is a faint fragrance."
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue were stunned at the same time. They twisted Long Chen's hand and loosened it slightly.
Di Luoxi recited it again, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is a good poem. You really know how to compose poetry."
Long Chen raised his head and straightened his chest and said: "Of course a young scholar can write poetry."
Di Luoxi looked at Long Chen and smiled coldly: "Okay, take him down and dig out his eyes!"
Damn it, you need to gouge out your eyes?
"Princess, didn't you promise to spare me? Why did you break your promise?"
"This princess promised to spare your life, but I didn't say I wouldn't gouge out your eyes. Don't worry, their skills are very good."
Long Chen wanted to vomit blood. Who were the people in the Eastern Zhou harem? Geji Geji was good at gouging out eyes. What skills were bad?
"If you gouge out my eyes, I'll die!"
Long Chen felt that Di Luoxi seemed to care about his poetic talent, so he took a gamble.
Di Luoxi looked at Long Chen coldly and said lightly: "Take him down, keep your dog eyes first."
Two maids came up and took Long Chen into a small dark room and locked him up.
"Princess, won't you kill me?"
Xuan Yi asked.
Di Luoxi said coldly: "Let's talk tomorrow, maybe it will be useful."
