A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 383 Birds Heading to the Phoenix
Although there were only a few words on it, she understood them.
My father said that the Taoist priest was a liar and was in Su Qingyu's hands.
Su Xiangling's mind went blank for a moment, and she was at a loss for what to do.
The two soft hands were subconsciously twisted together because of tension.
It was the first time for the servants to see her look like this, and they all stood aside in silence, not daring to speak.
After about a quarter of an hour, the conflicted emotions in Su Xiangling's eyes suddenly dissipated, and her expression gradually became firm.
"Qianxue, no matter what method you use, in two quarters of an hour, lead the Crown Prince to the plum forest in the northwest corner of the East Palace."
Qianxue saw Su Xiangling's serious words and knew that the matter was of great importance. She bowed and stepped back to do her work.
In the palace, the quality of life of a slave depended on the favor of the master. Therefore, the two senior maids around Su Xiangling hoped that she could get the upper hand more than anyone else, and naturally worked very hard.
Afterwards, Su Xiangling entered the inner room and opened a locked pearwood box. Inside was a small porcelain vase with a pattern of Alsophila spinulosa, which is only found in Qianzhou.
Su Xiangling carefully put the things in her arms, changed into a plain palace dress, and walked alone towards the Merlin in the northwest direction of the East Palace.
She carefully avoided the patrolling guards and the moving palace servants, and soon arrived outside Merlin.
Some plum blossoms have fallen this season. The plum trees in the East Palace have many varieties and colors. So the plum blossoms falling on the ground are very beautiful in all colors.
She didn't bother to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and walked around Merlin twice, as if she was choosing a place. After thinking it over, she finally went to the open space in the middle of Merlin.
In addition to a large open space, there is also a small wooden house, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince occasionally comes to make tea and play the piano.
Su Xiangling figured out which road the prince would take, and then stood facing due north.
If he were to kneel here, according to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's habit, he should come from behind her.
Su Xiangling was extremely cautious with every step. This was the last trick she could use against the prince.
Afterwards, Su Xiangling took out the small porcelain bottle in her hand and sprinkled it on the ground in front of her.
This is a powder developed by witch doctors in southern Xinjiang to attract birds. Generally, during grand celebrations or sacrifices in southern Xinjiang, this powder is used to attract hundreds of birds. After tasting the powder, the birds will even make gestures of submission.
It is said that there is a special medicinal ingredient in the powder that can make one of the bird's legs suddenly go soft and kneel on one knee.
This thing is only a short-term drug effect, and does not affect the life span of the bird. The witch doctors studied this medicine, firstly for fun, and secondly for good luck.
This medicine powder was given to her by a friend from southern Xinjiang. It had been kept at the bottom of a box. She accidentally saw it when she was sorting things before entering the palace.
After the powder was sprinkled, Su Xiangling suddenly made a sound similar to a bird's cry. Not far away, a bird landed on her shoulder and made a crisp bird cry.
This is a ventriloquist skill that many people in southern Xinjiang can perform. Su Xiangling only learned the basics, but it was obviously enough for her to use.
She calculated the time in her mind and listened carefully to the sounds behind her.
She was quite confident in Qianxue's work, so it was not difficult to lure the prince over.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard faint footsteps behind me.
Su Xiangling's eyes were deep and clear bird calls came out of her mouth continuously.
Soon, more than a dozen birds came close and landed on the ground in front of her where the powder was sprinkled.
Then, an overwhelming number of birds swarmed into the plum forest. In front of Su Xiangling, a dense crowd of birds stood on the ground.
To be precise, he was kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, the prince had already walked behind Su Xiangling, and he froze in place as he looked at the scene in front of him.
Su Xiangling was wearing a moon-white palace dress, with her hair combed into a high bun, and only wearing a phoenix-head hairpin given to her by Concubine Xian.
She had her back to him and was kneeling upright on the ground.
Put your hands together and bow towards the north.
He said devoutly, "I pray that all the gods will bless the Great Zhou with peace and prosperity, and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be safe and sound."
"I am willing to sacrifice my life's blessings and longevity in exchange for the Crown Prince's peaceful life."
Su Xiangling was very clever, and deliberately staged the scene of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix at night.
She didn't dare to let everyone know about this.
The emperor is still on the throne, and the prince is still just the prince. If it is said that she has the Phoenix fate at this time, the emperor and the court officials will not let her go.
So she just wanted the prince to believe her, no matter whether what the Taoist said was true or false, she had to make the words in the hexagram come true.
There was deep shock in the prince's eyes. The woman in front of him was bowing to the gods and Buddhas, and even the birds in the entire palace were bowing to her.
What kind of background and identity does one have to have such good fortune?
He believed in ghosts and gods, and even more in the idea of a real dragon reincarnated. If he was the reincarnation of a real dragon, then what was Su Xiangling's identity?
He suddenly thought of something and murmured, "A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix?"
Su Xiangling had been trying her best to listen to the noise behind her, and naturally heard the prince's murmurs. She was delighted, knowing that today's plan had not been in vain.
But what she and the prince didn't know was that at this moment, under a dark tree not far away, a figure suddenly turned around and left.
The prince moved his feet, walked over to Su Xiangling and squatted down.
"Ling'er, it's so cold at night, what are you doing kneeling here?"
Su Xiangling looked at the prince in surprise, as if she didn't expect him to be here.
"Your Highness, please don't bother me. I made a mistake and I'm here to admit it."
The prince looked at the dense flock of birds in front of her and asked, "What's going on with these birds? I have never seen so many birds in the East Palace. Did you attract all the birds in the Bird Garden?"
Su Xiangling looked innocent yet timidly surprised, "Did I do something wrong again? I don't know why they are here."
"It seems to have been like this since I was a child. If I pray to the gods and Buddhas earnestly for something, many birds will come. But there weren't so many before. Why are there more birds in the palace? So why are there more birds coming?"
Su Xiangling had the look of a naive girl on her face, which was very different from her previous charming and enchanting look.
The prince did not think it was wrong at all, instead he felt pity for her.
He gently helped Su Xiangling up and said, "Silly Ling'er, now you are one step closer to that location, so naturally more birds will be attracted."
Su Xiangling's legs softened from kneeling for so long that she fell into the prince's arms.
Then she asked in a tender voice, "Your Highness, I don't understand what you are talking about. What position is it?"
The prince did not want to say more, thinking that it was better for her not to know what was going on, and the important thing was for her to focus on taking care of the baby.
At this moment, the two of them were half hugging each other. Su Xiangling nestled in the prince's arms and spoke softly.
"Your Highness, I had a dream last night."
"I dreamed of a small, yellow snake. It called me mother. Don't you think this dream is very interesting?"
