Concubine Xue was stunned by the look from Emperor Dongling.
How is this going?
The Queen Mother has always disliked Concubine Chen. She felt that she was not of high birth and looked too charming. Why did she become so tolerant today and even her eyes became much kinder!
In the darkness, a palace official quietly pulled her sleeve, reminding her that it was not appropriate to say anything at the moment. Concubine Xue was unwilling to give up and could only watch the Queen Mother lovingly take a picture scroll and leave slowly surrounded by everyone. .
He looked like he didn't take the shaman master's warning to heart at all!
Concubine Xue's originally perfect plan failed to make any splash, and eventually disappeared in a whirlwind of whispers.
And inside Zhaoqing Palace.
"It's all my fault. If I had been more careful, Concubine Xue would not have discovered the secret of the empress!" Nanny Zhang raised her hand to slap herself in the mouth, but Concubine Chen stopped her.
"You are just thinking about me. I can only say that Concubine Xue is too cunning."
Concubine Chen covered her belly in fear. She had already guessed Concubine Xue's intention.
Unexpectedly, the other party planned to repeat the same trick and harm his own flesh and blood!
"Thanks to Mrs. Crown Prince this time, otherwise, I might not be able to defend myself." Concubine Chen knew that Concubine Xue had a group of killers who followed her from the north. They were well-trained and ruthless, and once they left, In the palace, she was in danger!
Concubine Chen looked gratefully at Xia Yunxian in front of her. Even she had to sigh that the way the crane was incorporated into the painting was really wonderful.
"This time, Concubine Xue stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice. The Queen Mother got the crane birthday picture. She was in high spirits, so she brought the master to pour cold water on her. I think the Queen Mother must have grudged her."
Nanny Zhang felt extremely happy when she thought of Concubine Xue Guifei's expression at that time. She must have even begun to doubt the master.
Concubine Chen noticed that Xia Yunxian was in a trance and couldn't help but ask, "What is Madam Shizi thinking?"
"Madam, where did this master shaman come from? Could it be that when Princess Yinghua was born, he was the one who said that the princess was born as a lucky star?"
"Yes! This man is very mysterious and has many followers. They all regard him as the reincarnation of the true Buddha who came to the world to save all sentient beings. The Queen Mother trusts him very much."
True Buddha?
In the past, Xia Yunxian would not have believed such rhetoric, but she herself had experienced an incredible rebirth, and now she could only maintain a cautious attitude.
But how can a serious master carry the aura of powder on his body?
Just now Chunxiao told her that because she was curious about the master, she passed by the master in a low-key manner and smelled the smell that should not belong to him.
Chunxiao had been sorting out the medicinal materials with her recently, and her sense of smell had become more and more sensitive. Moreover, this smart girl even saw a gold hairpin falling out of the master's sleeve.
A bold guess immediately came to Xia Yunxian's mind.
Not far away, on a secret path in the forest, Bai Yujing held the struggling white crane under his arm and looked at the woman walking towards him in surprise.
"Thank you for coming up with this idea and getting ahead of Concubine Xue, so that the child in Concubine Chen's belly is also blessed with auspiciousness!"
"She moved too fast. It seems that the problem lies in the mutton pot."
Xia Yunxian had a panoramic view of the scene just now, and finally understood the reason for the strange feeling in his heart at that time.
Concubine Xue was really extremely perceptive, and she guessed that Concubine Chen was pregnant just by looking at her food.
If I hadn't been lucky enough to help Concubine Chen give the Queen Mother a preconceived impression, I'm afraid it would have been inevitable for her to be sent out of the palace today.
Bai Yujing raised his hand and teased the long beak of the white crane, "What kind of mutton stew? Come on, I'll stew a big white goose for you at noon!"
This is the crane he found with great difficulty. It would be a pity not to stew it to replenish his body.
Xia Yunxian glared at him faintly, "Bai He is spiritual, and you are not afraid of retribution!"
retribution?
Bai Yujing curled up the corner of his mouth, with a wicked smile on his handsome face, "If you don't fill your stomach, how can you resist the retribution? I didn't eat anything when I went into battle to kill the enemy, just one..."
Before he could finish his words, the white crane under his arm suddenly turned around and bit him. Bai Yujing's expression suddenly changed, and he cursed and slapped the crane's head several times!
This embarrassed look made Xia Yunxian next to him couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing her smile as warm as spring, Bai Yujing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that the bite was worth it, "Aren't you angry with me?"
It looked as if Xia Yunxian had agreed to marry him.
However, Xia Yunxian quickly regained his distant expression, and just glanced at him faintly, "It's just a slap on the nose, but I still want to thank you this time."
In such weather, it is not easy to catch a south-migrating white crane in one night.
"How can I thank you?" Bai Yujing's handsome face had already come over to him, but Xia Yunxian turned a blind eye.
"Please have a meal."
Bai Yujing couldn't help but widen her eyes, feeling that she might have heard wrongly, "Are you making a date with me?"
Obviously, Bai Yujing's thoughts were too beautiful.
…
As night fell, Bai Yujing couldn't help but smile as he looked at the fine wine and dishes in front of him in the elegant wing of the largest flower house in Kyoto.
He never knew that Xia Yunxian could be so generous, spending his own money to invite him to drink flower wine!
He was a regular visitor here, but now he felt unhappy.
"That girl really doesn't care about me."
He raised his head bitterly and drank the spicy wine, and then several familiar beauties came to him in a graceful manner, "Why haven't you come to see me for a long time? Do you have another new love?"
"If I say that I am here to cause trouble, would you believe it?"
The beauties couldn't help but look at each other, and immediately smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help lowering their voices, "My lord, every time you come here, nothing good happens. Can you show your respect?"
"No, help me find someone."
The beauties were about to cry but had no tears. You must know that among the many distinguished guests, this Dali Temple minister was the most handsome in appearance and generous in spending. There were many sisters who wanted to serve him.
But every time they come here, they are either killing people or on the way to kill people.
What a waste of that fascinating skin!
I saw Bai Yujing pull out a roll of rice paper from his sleeve, with a gold hairpin drawn on it, "Does any of today's guests bring this gold hairpin?"
They took a closer look and suddenly looked surprised, "It's true! That guest came here because of her reputation, but Sister Xiaoxiao had been missing for many days, so he ordered Sister Xiang'er. This golden hairpin was brought by him to Xiang today. Damn it!"
"A monk?" Bai Yujing's eyes flashed, and she really hit the mark!
The rouge smell on this master's body is similar to the smell that Liu Chengyu had on him after the fire in the Hou Mansion.
So Xia Yunxian guessed that the shaman master would come to the flower house where Yang Xiaoxiao was.
"Sir, you are joking. He is a wealthy businessman from the north. His hair is so thick!"
"How did you know he was from the north?"
"After the guest got drunk, he said that our girls in Kyoto have bodies like willows, unlike the women there who are tall and tall."
oh?
That's him!
