Fast time travel: The heroine and the female supporting role hold the script of the villain

Chapter 104 The real daughter, she quit (50)

After Haiyao returned to her seat with Mrs. Zhao, she took the time to look at the emperor in the bright yellow dragon robe who was sitting on the dragon chair in front of her.

Under the sharp sword eyebrows are a pair of embarrassing and energetic eagle eyes. Even though his complexion is not as rosy as the young man's, it doesn't look like he is dying.

For a moment, Haiyao couldn't help being a little skeptical, she didn't quite understand why those princes were fighting so well right now because of something.Looking at the emperor's spiritual head, no matter who finally secures the position of crown prince, it will be difficult to get what he wants without two to thirty years!

Fortunately, the emperor didn't like to speak long and inspiring words. After he simply said a few words on the scene, many court ladies suddenly poured in from all directions of the Longevity Hall.These maids were all holding fresh melons and fruits in their hands, and after placing the fruit plates on the table one by one, they all left quickly.

Next, the kabuki and musicians in the palace presented some auspicious programs, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the palace was heard. In this dynasty where entertainment activities were too scarce, it could be regarded as an audio-visual feast.

Picking up some of the fruits placed in front of her to fill her hungry stomach, Haiyao seemed a little uninterested. Seeing that it was still early and the sky outside was still bright, there might still be a while before the dinner party officially started. boil.

When the successive singing and dancing performances finally ended, another well-dressed troupe walked in, and the babbling, penetrating voice formed a surround sound in the hall, which made her already drowsy My nerves are a little clearer.

With such strong support, it finally came to the stage where the envoys of the surrounding small countries entered the palace to have an audience. For those envoys from various countries who wore different clothes from the dynasty and whose eyebrows and eyes were obviously different from those of the Central Plains people, Haiyao finally mentioned Interested.

To celebrate the Longevity Day and to show their loyalty to the emperor, the envoys rushed to present the most precious treasures of their respective countries, and the scene was very lively for a while.

What are red corals that have been around for thousands of years, what are moonlight pearls in the deep sea, strange beasts with griffins that have never been seen before, what beautiful and charming beauties from the Western Regions...

A dazzling array of beautiful things, dizzying.

Dragging her chin and nibbling melon seeds, while looking at the exotic beauty dancer who is kneeling down in the center of the hall, Haiyao sighed in her heart: How can this feeling of being above ten thousand people and sitting on the world be possible? Don't make people feel intoxicated?Therefore, it is indeed understandable for those princes to fight for each other.

Finally, after receiving the envoys from these dependent countries, the Wanshou Palace once again restored the prosperous scene of singing and dancing.

The difference from just now was that soon another group of court ladies entered the hall with their heads bowed, and presented everyone with good wine and sumptuous dishes.After a whole few hours, when it was completely dark outside, this national carnival had just begun to get down to business.

After the ministers and their family members stood up and raised their glasses and shouted long live again, maybe it was because of two glasses of wine per person, the restrained atmosphere in the hall finally became more active, and Haiyao could occasionally hear faint voices coming from the surroundings chatting.

"Mrs. Wu, has the eldest lady in your house ever discussed marriage?"

The sudden questioning sound from the side made her slightly raise her eyebrows and look sideways. The person who spoke was the first wife of the neighboring adult's family.Being able to sit with Mrs. Zhao means that this man's official position is far from that of Wu Xiu's, so naturally he doesn't have so many scruples when talking.

When Mrs. Zhao heard the words, she put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and shook her head with a faint smile: "Not yet, I originally wanted to stay with you for two more years."

"I saw that many of the young men who came here today are very energetic. Madam Wu may as well take a look, there will always be someone who catches the eye." This lady has a round face, and her eyebrows are beaming when she talks. Be a little festive.

"Yes..." Mrs. Zhao nodded in agreement.

The round-faced lady Xu saw that she was not very interested, and then thought that the Wu family seemed to have just lost a daughter a while ago, her expression suddenly became a little embarrassing, and she changed the subject wisely: "The empress's face is said to be from the palace. More than a dozen of the best craftsmen worked day and night for half a year to make it, and the bead inlaid on it is worth more than ten thousand gold!"

At this time, a lady with thin cheeks sitting obliquely behind also joined in the chat with interest: "Isn't it? That bead is said to be a dragon ball that was salvaged from the deep sea after sacrificing many fishermen. There are only two in the world! One is in the queen mother's palace, and the other is on the queen's head."

"If you look carefully, this dragon ball will reflect a faint blue light under the candlelight!"

According to the other party's words, Mrs. Zhao followed the round-faced lady to observe seriously, and she was also amazed: "Really! After all, it is the queen. I am afraid that only the mother of this country can match this rare treasure. gone."

"That's natural, if you don't have a sense of tolerance..." The round-faced lady stopped talking in a timely manner when she was halfway through her words, and then said something else: "But in my opinion, the headed wife still needs to be more ruthless." Yes, otherwise there are so many concubines and concubines in the mansion, it would be annoying to watch them for no reason."

These words are undoubtedly alluding to the current harem, the emperor has always been quite prosperous in terms of heirs, and there are more than ten princes alone.Obviously, this royal battle behind the scenes, in the eyes of others, is just a chat after dinner.

The thin lady smiled knowingly when she heard this: "After all, we are a small family. Which of the natal families of the ladies in the palace is easy to provoke?"

"That's right." The round-faced lady nodded in agreement. The various forces in the harem are deeply intertwined, so it can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences.After two seconds of silence, she seemed to hear something suddenly, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "Speaking of which, I heard something."

"It is said that a few days ago, there was a court lady who served in front of the imperial court who got a little too big-hearted and tried to climb the dragon bed, but was discovered by the empress, and she was beaten to death with a stick and thrown to the mass grave with a mat!"

"This..." The thin lady stared in surprise, and then said in a sarcasm: "Could it be that I have read too many folk tales? I really think that I can seduce all the men in the world with a smile. Woolen cloth?"

Men have been shrewd species since ancient times, not to mention the one who sits firmly on the dragon chair. He has already thought about who he favors today, and concubines in the harem are just tools used by the emperor to balance the previous dynasty. .

The emperor did have the right to favor anyone, but he would not be so stupid as to let a servant of unknown origin climb into bed casually.The original face of the world has always been cruel, so how can there be so many counterattacks all the way?

The two ladies here were talking lively, but they didn't notice Zhao Shi's expression of astonishment that was almost uncontrollable.

"Mother probably ate too much wine, my daughter will go out with you to get some fresh air, okay?" Haiyao took the woman's hand lightly at the right time, and asked softly.

Mrs. Zhao came back to her senses, and quickly confessed to the two wives, then leaned on Haiyao, and fled outside from the side door of the Longevity Hall with big strides.

In the middle of the autumn night, the weather was already a bit chilly, and the cold wind blew him head-on unexpectedly. Mrs. Zhao felt chills all over her body, and couldn't help but hold her daughter's hand hard.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, but they had a tacit understanding and didn't say what was in their hearts. After all, they were walking outside and in the palace full of people. Everything needs to be more careful.

But they knew very well that the court lady who was beaten to death by the empress a few days ago was most likely Wu Jinrou.

Generally speaking, the people serving in front of the imperial court are carefully selected, and I wish I could dig out all eight generations of ancestors for you.And most of the court ladies who can get close to the emperor are descendants of official families, in order to prevent unclean people from dirtying the emperor's dragon body. If they are really favored, most of them will give a promise or something. .

It is really rare to see people beaten to death with sticks like this, and most of them were noticed by the emperor or empress, and their life experience is not clear.

Breathing the cold air, Zhao forced herself to regain her composure slowly: "If you come out for too long, you will be suspicious, let's go back to the palace earlier!"

Haiyao responded in a low voice, sent her to the side door of the main hall, and told the servant girl, "Take care of Madam."

Then he looked at Mrs. Zhao again: "Mother, I accidentally drank too much fruit wine just now, and I will go back when the drunkenness clears."

Mrs. Zhao didn't doubt that there was him, or maybe she was so shocked by the news just now that she couldn't fully return to her place, so she just said "be careful in everything" and entered the side door accompanied by the maid.

The night was as cool as water, and Haiyao took Chunxi back to the corridor, took out a uniquely shaped mace token with the word 'Road' engraved on it from her bosom, handed it to Chunxi, and fell on the other side's chest again. He whispered something in his ear.

The little girl was very clever, she put away the token properly, looked around and disappeared in the thick night in a blink of an eye.

After a few breaths of time, Haiyao was about to turn around and go back to the hall, but she didn't expect to turn her head, and happened to see a figure standing in the corridor not far away.

Her eyelids twitched, her breath stagnated, but her expression remained calm.

"Miss Wu." Luo Hongxin did not approach, but saluted from a distance, and asked with a half-smile: "I don't know what Miss Wu thought about Luo's proposal that day?"

Haiyao didn't answer directly, but asked suddenly: "Wu Jinrou's death was caused by Mr. Luo?"

Hearing this, Luo Hongxin paused and raised his head slowly.

At this time, half of that unusually good-looking face was hidden in the shadows, making it look a bit obscure.
