There are almost only maids in the palace. For some women who have lived in the palace for a long time, it is not easy to meet a man on weekdays.
Of course, some female officials with higher positions can still exchange a few words with some officials who come in and out of the palace. When you meet a young and good-looking person, you can't help but feel itchy to flirt with them.
Shi Rong did not expect that when she saw the young Mr. An today, she could not suppress the throbbing in her heart, and she also had a physical reaction. Fortunately, she was wearing neat and decent clothes, which could not be seen from the outside.
Mr. An seemed to be different from the rest of the people. He had a kind of magical power that made her fall deeply into it. Compared with the man in front of her, other men seemed to be like chickens and dogs.
The route they took was specially instructed by the Queen of Heaven. Here they needed to bypass a few palace gates and save some inquiries. No one would bother to take such a route on weekdays.
There are high palace walls on both sides, making the aisle look narrow and long.
Shi Rong walked slowly in front, but still held An Yan's hand.
"Master Shi, do you like my hands that much?" An Yan asked from behind her, almost leaning against her.
"Mr. An, your hands are so hot."
"Master Shi, do you like hot things?"
Shi Rong's face was hot, she bit her red lips, her heart was pounding, she didn't know how she could be like this, she had obviously heard more lewd words in the past.
This An Yan looks decent and handsome, with little experience, but secretly he is also very bad.
"Master Shi, is the Queen easy to get along with?" An Yan asked again.
Hearing this, Shi Rong said: "It depends on whether you are in line with the Queen. If the Queen thinks you are good, you will be easy to get along with."
An Yan thought to herself, it seems that first impression is very important.
Shi Rong added: "The Queen of Heaven has summoned us, so we'd better hurry up..."
An Yan chuckled: "Didn't Master Shi want to spend more time with me, so he walked slowly?"
But when Shi Rong heard this, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at An Yan eagerly.
This female officer was in her twenties and thirties, which was considered "elderly" in this era, but to An Yan, she was still very young.
She glanced left and right to make sure there was no one on the road. With her free hand, she unbuttoned the lapel button of her silver official uniform, and with her other hand, she guided An Yan's hand inside.
An Yan looked at the exquisite silver official uniform. The shape of his finger bones was highlighted because his hands were stuffed inside.
The texture of the material is very delicate. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is different from the official uniforms worn by ordinary officials. The embroidery on it is also of high quality.
Shi Rong adjusted his stance, and then whispered: "When Mr. An comes back, we will also take this road. There are very few people here, and I won't be busy at that time."
There really weren't many people here. It took An Yan enough to enjoy half a cup of tea. The woman in front of him breathed heavily and fell directly into his arms.
"The Queen is still waiting." An Yan took out his hand and said.
"She doesn't know when you came." Shi Rong said. She lowered her head to straighten her official uniform, fastened the buttons again, and her dress became decent again.
The two of them walked forward again. When they reached the end of the road, Shi Rong couldn't help turning her head to An Yan beside her and said, "Mr. An, don't forget what I just said."
An Yan just had a smile on her face and didn't respond.
If you really do that, I'm afraid you'll die.
On the road, I saw the figure of the palace maid. Each of these people put their hands in front of their waists and saw Shi Rong bowing respectfully.
"This is Fuluan Hall, and the Queen of Heaven is inside at the moment."
When in front of others, Shi Rong's demeanor was dignified and generous, and she talked to An Yan.
"Does Mr. An know the etiquette that should be followed when meeting the Queen of Heaven?"
An Yan looked at the gorgeous hall in front of him and nodded slightly. He had also done his homework.
Although the Queen of Heaven was called the Empress in the current dynasty, she enjoyed the courtesy of the emperor in everything, and no one dared to raise any objections. Those who dared to speak out of line with etiquette died under the sword of Xuan Jiawei.
The reason why the Queen of Heaven is able to securely occupy the position and dominate the world is because the top civil and military officials in the dynasty are her most solid supporters.
The color of Fuluan Hall is relatively simple, mainly green and brown. The steps are made of jade, and the railings are dotted with vermilion decorations. The lines are not complicated. The straight lines are the main double-layered eaves with upturned eaves. It is broad and solemn.
The door of the palace was open. At Shi Rong's reminder, Anyan took off her shoes at the door, stepped on the threshold and stepped on the wooden floor.
The air inside is filled with aroma, a very complex and fragrant incense, and the temperature in the room is also very cool. Golden bead curtains and transparent gauze hang from the top, half-obscuring the scene inside.
Not long after Shi Rong entered the door, she knelt down and spoke in a loud voice: "Empress Tian, Mr. An is here."
An Yan had no choice but to kneel inside the palace gate.
There was no response from inside. After a while, two palace maids stepped out and glanced at Shi Rong, and the three ladies left the hall together.
After not hearing any movement for a long time, An Yan quietly raised his head and looked inside. Although the hall was large, it seemed very empty. There were not many decorations, but he could see what seemed to be a bed inside.
After a while, Anyan heard a faint sound of footsteps. Someone walked towards him through the transparent gauze curtain, until a pair of familiar legs appeared in his lowered gaze.
An Yan raised his head and saw Master Xuanyi wearing a pure white Taoist robe.
Before she could be surprised, Anyan heard her calm voice.
"Come in."
After thinking for a short time, Anyan stood up and walked inside behind Xuanyi Zhenren.
When he got close to the bed, Anyan finally saw a figure lying on his side, but he could only suppress his curiosity and not look up. He knelt on the ground, and in his sight was only a piece of bright red robe hanging down to the ground. .
"Is this the person you were talking about?"
An Yan heard a lazy, mature female voice. It was not that thin. It was just a voice and nothing could be heard.
"Yes." Master Xuanyi responded.
After a while, An Yan heard the command: "Raise your head up."
The person on the bed must be resting, and his current posture is still lying on his side, with Master Xuanyi standing quietly aside.
An Yan calmed down, then slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the Queen of Heaven.
But I saw a man lying on his side with his head on his hands. There was a low table on the bed with a few books and a plate of snacks on it.
The Queen of Heaven and Yu Jingtang are about the same age, but the person in front of her looks much younger. Her skin is white and smooth, and she must have good looks. The red robe she is wearing is embroidered with dragon patterns, but she is too She was too wide and could not tell her figure. She was not wearing anything on her head, her black hair was neatly draped, and her face was stern, but also a little feminine.
An Yan dared to be too presumptuous, but with just one glance, he lowered his gaze a bit.
After looking at him, the Queen asked calmly: "Does Yu Jingtang know that you are a demon?"
An Yan suddenly felt his mind tremble, and responded with a whirling thought: "I am not a monster, I just want to live forever. I have never had any intention of harming others, and my practice has nothing to do with Yu Xiang."
The Queen was just lying down, but her eyes were condescending. She had a very high status and had already had this habit.
"If you gain immortality, what will you want then?"
The reason why people fear death is because living can enjoy and satisfy desires.
When a person has an endless life, it also means that he will have infinite desires and will slowly put himself above all living beings.
Once you achieve immortality, what else will you want then...
An Yan already has a lot of things he wants without having to go to the stage of immortality.
What will be the result if this question is not answered well?
Master Xuanyi stood quietly on one side and said slowly: "Xuanzhen believers have only two thoughts in their hearts: to assist the king and the country, and to help the world and the people."
Hearing this, the Queen of Heaven cast a sidelong glance at Master Xuanyi: "Really? Why does your uncle Taiyao hang out with the rebels?"
Master Xuanyi said calmly: "Queen of Heaven, don't worry, if there are traitors in the religion, I will clean up the family."
An Yan was thinking in her mind, did Master Xuanyi tell the Queen of Heaven that he was a Xuanzhen believer?
"No need."
The Queen got up from the bed and stepped on the floor with her bare feet. An Yan noticed that her hips and waist were actually very plump.
"I have the Duke of Zhenguo, no matter how many rebels and traitors there are, I won't worry about it." She said calmly, walking towards An Yan step by step, her bright red robe dragging on the ground.
An Yan lowered his eyes and saw her white instep appearing in front of him.
"An Yan."
"Your Majesty, I'm here." An Yan bowed down immediately upon hearing this.
"If you can try to make Yu Jingtang stop, I will let you live, how about that?"
