The rise of the president in the harem

Like throwing a hot potato, the gift box was stuffed back into the gift pile by Gao Yue.

Seeing his embarrassment, my cousin laughed for a long time before saying, "You child, why are you so shy. When you are happy, you will use it sooner or later?"

Gao Yue didn't know how to answer these words, but became more and more embarrassed.

But the cousin sighed, and said: "In Dazhou, it is more dangerous for a brother to have a baby than a woman. If one day you are diagnosed with a happy pulse, you must tell your cousin. My aunt will come to the palace to take care of you. There are no big or small details, and there are not just one or two points to pay attention to."

"Thank you, Aunt Biao." The topic finally returned to normal, Gao Yue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, as if he was afraid that Aunt Biao would turn the topic back, he hurriedly said: "Aunt Biao, did you hear that a few days ago, Aunt Biao was among the concubines in Lenggong? What about snake venom?"

After all, Aunt Biao is also the wife of a fourth-rank official, so she naturally knows what she should know about the affairs of the palace.Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Brother Yue, why did you mention this?"

Gao Yue slowly told the inside story to her aunt. Although her cousin listened quietly the whole time, the more she listened, the worse her complexion became. When Gao Yue finished speaking, she frowned and cursed angrily. Sentence: "This cook really doesn't know what to do! Such a bloody person will deserve the life of a cow or a horse in the next life!"

Gao Yue hurriedly licked a cup of tea for her, thinking that Zhou Feiqi's investigation materials were still well prepared, and Aunt Biao's temper was really cool and hot, and she looked quite hot.He continued: "Later I found the Empress Dowager, she found out about this matter, but she didn't make it difficult for me. And this time, it was the grace that the Empress Dowager gave me to comfort me. Now I am in the harem , although I have the emperor's favor, if the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with me, I'm afraid there will be more open and secret attacks coming from all directions! Now that I think about it, it may not be a good thing to favor the harem..."

Gao Yue watched her cousin's expression while talking, and saw that she was frowning as if she was in deep thought, so after she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh——

Seeing him like this, my aunt was very distressed, patted the back of his hand, and said: "You child, don't think too much. Since the Queen Mother told you to call me into the palace, the intention is probably to use it on your cousin. Alas, you may not know that since your cousin went to Jicheng to take up his post, within ten days he has been dissatisfied with the soil and water, and the feng shui of Jicheng is obviously very hard!"

The cousin was quick to speak, but what she said made Gao Yue feel that she was a thoughtful person, which was rare among women in ancient times. No wonder the cousin hadn't taken a concubine for so many years. I think she really loved this cousin of.

Aunt Biao thought for a while, then said to Gao Yue: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I'll just write a letter to your cousin."

"Then I will trouble my cousin."

The Queen Mother ordered Gao Yue's purpose of summoning relatives into the palace was to pass on the situation in the Pingjing harem and the attitude of the Li family of the Queen Mother's faction to the uncle Gao's cousin in Jicheng through the mouth of this cousin. Aunt Biao talked about something else.

In the past two days, because he had to accompany his cousin, he spent less and less time in Jingyang Palace. Most of the time, he would take his cousin to walk around the entire palace, and even went to the Imperial Garden every day. Even so, the person who made the arrangements before did not make another move. It can be seen that this person can really bear it.

During the Jin Feng Grand Ceremony, all conferred concubines and elder brothers also summoned their relatives to enter the palace, except for Qi Sheath who did not give the Qi family this opportunity to show their face, these days the concubines are often seen in the palace The figure of relatives walking.

When Gao Yue was visiting the imperial garden with her aunt, she came across a scene where the three families of the Yihexuan gathered for tea.At that time, Gao Yue and her cousin stood among the flowers, with a lush ten-mile cinnamon tree above their heads, and a thick clump of sea stone tea beside them. The branches protruded from the sides of their faces, and the pink and white flowers were layered Folded like a gentle arm encircling the aunt and nephew on one side of the stone road.

Laughter came from not far away——

Through the gaps in the branches, although it was a little far away, Gao Yue still saw Qiao Huan and Qiao's mother among the group of laughing people in the Huxin Pavilion.

Aunt Biao glanced at his line of sight, and obviously recognized Qiao Huan's mother. After all, they were all ladies from the aristocratic circle of the capital. There are also times when we meet.

Aunt Biao didn't know the cause and effect, so she was still a little puzzled when she saw this, and said, "Brother Yue, doesn't the elder brother of the Qiao family live in a beloved man's house? Why does his relationship with Sanfan seem to be so good? Speaking of which, didn't your majesty let you In charge of the beloved? I have only seen the brothers of the Qi family getting close to you in the past few days, but I have never seen the brothers of the Qiao family come to see you. It stands to reason that since they are under your care, even if they are not close, every day It's time to please you and show your face. This brother of the Qiao family is not deliberately embarrassing you by relying on his father's position? If so, then you can't! You have a soft temper. When someone commits crimes, you, uh, you have to remember to tell His Majesty, do you know?"

Gao Yue really felt a lot of concern from her aunt's words, but Qiao Huan's matter was not a minor offense, at most it was 'like-minded but not friends'.He said: "Auntie is worrying too much, Qiao Liang is only getting close to the foreigner for the sake of beauties, this is a long story, I will tell you slowly when I go back!"

"Oh, that's it! Eh?" Aunt Biao suddenly pointed to the pavilion where the crowd gathered there, and said, "Look, brother Qiao's family has come out, yo, this really needs to be painted!"

Following her fingers, Gao Yue saw the eunuch carrying a long case and brushes and painting utensils towards the shore of Lengxin Lake. Qiao Huan was just going to instruct them on how to arrange them. It seemed that he had worked hard for many days and finally got rid of it. Baiyu Mingxuan agreed to come to Yuhuayuan to be his model.

Thinking of this, Gao Yue glanced into the pavilion again, and saw a young woman with beautiful makeup sitting beside Bai Yuming. The woman's hair was decorated with colorful feathers, just like the expression on her face. A little indifferent, he was staring at the lake in a daze at the moment.This expression was incompatible with the laughing atmosphere in the pavilion, and it was extremely attractive.

Gao Yue noticed that the woman's face was very small, which was exactly the same as Bai Yu Mingxuan, probably his sister or something.

Aunt Biao had already walked to the front, so Gao Yue stopped paying attention to the pavilion, and caught up with Aunt Biao in a few steps, and started talking to her in a low voice again.After walking for a while, my cousin was a little tired. Gao Yue saw that there was also a pavilion on the rockery in front of him. The rockery was less than five meters high, so he helped his cousin up.The two little eunuchs, Xing and Fu, were waiting all the way, and they were already holding tea and food. At this time, seeing the two masters sitting, they hurriedly put tea and fruit on the table.

After Gao Yue sat down, he realized that the pavilion was well built.It doesn't look high, but you can have a panoramic view of the imperial garden. It seems that when it comes to landscaping, you have to count the imperial garden!However, in this way, the Huxin Pavilion is directly exposed to his sight. Even if Gao Yue doesn't want to pay attention, he can see it clearly when he raises his eyes. Of course, they can also see it from the other side. Just be clear.

Gao Yue raised her eyes, just in time to see that several people in the pavilion also turned their heads to look at them, Bai Yuming didn't know what she said to the cold beauty, the beauty immediately shook her head, and pulled Bai Yuming a handful.However, a woman in the group stood up, she held the railing of the pavilion with both hands, leaned out a little, and looked like she was watching a fish. Talking to her about something.

Gao Yue picked up the teacup and just blew on it, when she heard a scream in her ear, at the same time, her cousin threw the teacup and shouted: "Snake! Snake! Snake! There is a snake!"

Xing and Fu hurriedly stepped forward to check, and Gao Yue also hurriedly got up to support the frightened cousin——

Aunt Biao pointed to the teacup, stroked her heart with the other hand, and said, "It was in my cup just now, it was very small, and it was very green!"

Gao Yue was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Is it Baiwei?"

"I didn't see it clearly! It scared me to death!"

Gao Yue looked serious, and said to the people behind him: "Look for them all, if you find them, kill them immediately!"

He personally helped his aunt down the rockery and came to an open place.At this time, I don't know what happened to the Huxin Pavilion, but there was a faint burst of laughter, which was soon drowned in the gurgling water under the rockery.

The cousin was shocked, so it was naturally inconvenient for them to stay any longer.Gao Yue left Xiao Xingzi and took a few people to continue looking for snakes. He caressed his cousin and took Xiao Fuzi back to Jingyang Palace.On the way, Gao Yue recalled the scene just now, and thought of the woman leaning over the railing, she felt very strange, there seemed to be no such person in the palace, so she asked Xiao Fuzi to arrange someone to inquire about it. who is that person.

Not long after, Xiao Fuzi came back, and he said to Gao Yue: "Master, I have already found out that that is the Seventh Princess of Gaoshan Kingdom, born by the Empress, and this time I came to the palace to visit Xiangou Rongyuan."

"Understood, how is my cousin? Is Helianye here?"

"I have already sent someone to invite her. Mrs. Biao is now sleeping in the side hall. She looks quite frightened."

While the two were talking, a young eunuch reported outside that He Lianye had arrived.Gao Yue immediately asked someone to take him to the side hall.

Aunt Biao hadn't slept soundly at all, and she woke up when she heard the movement, so Gao Yue asked He Lianye to ask Aunt Biao for her pulse.After a while, He Lianye withdrew his hands, saluted Gao Yue, and said, "Reporting to Bi Yanjun, Mrs. Biao was frightened and her mind was agitated. The next official will prescribe a calming soup for three days to recover. .”

"Okay, let's arrange it as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, Gao Yue turned back to her cousin and said, "You can raise it in the palace with peace of mind these few days. I will definitely find out about the snake, and I will never let it go. You are wronged!"

"Brother Yue, there's no need," my cousin took Gao Yue's hand, "It's just a little snake, but it didn't hurt me, maybe it fell from the tree."

"Auntie, we are sitting so high, where is there a tree? If it falls from a high place, there will be the sound of water—and one more thing, I have always been careful about eating in Jingyang Palace, and I am not a careless person. The snake ran into your cup in the blink of an eye? I think it must be someone who is controlling the snake. It is against the palace rules to control the snake in the harem of Da Zhou. Since I found out, I can’t tolerate it. Auntie didn’t think too much about it. Just rest in peace!"

"Since it is a palace rule, the aunt will not stop you. Now that you are in the harem, since you are the fourth monarch, you should establish your prestige as soon as possible, so as to avoid those concubines who are not big or small, and always forget what they are. Identity." Aunt Biao's words were serious, and it could be seen that she was also a person who had experienced struggles.

Gao Yue settled her down, and when she left the side hall, she saw smoke rising from the small kitchen that had been vacant these days, and asked, "Who uses the kitchen?"

Xiao Fuzi said: "It's Helian Imperial Physician. He said that he would make medicine for Mrs. Biao himself. He doesn't feel at ease if someone else does it."

Gao Yue shook her head and smiled, thinking, this Helianye is really good at acting!After walking two steps, he turned back and told Xiao Fuzi, "Didn't Eunuch Hu bring some old ginseng from Jiyang Hall a few days ago? Go pick a good one, wrap it up and give it to him. I remember him The family is probably not very rich, and there is an old man, let me take it back to make up for the old man."

Xiao Fuzi responded with a smile, and ran to the warehouse to arrange the matter.Looking at it like that, he seemed happier than he was rewarded. It seems that He Lianye's popularity in Jingyang Palace has accumulated pretty well these days!

Gao Yue walked towards the study and thought, someone like He Lianye is definitely a comprehensive talent.

There was a Go board in the study. Gao Yue sat on one side, opened two boxes of chess pieces, took out a black piece and put it on, and then put down a piece every time he thought about it, sometimes it was black, sometimes it was white, there was no pattern, Just like this, a person played chess pieces for more than an hour.

Afterwards, he called Xiao Fuzi and gave him such instructions.Xiao Fuzi was full of doubts, but he didn't ask any questions, ordered, and hurried out of Jingyang Palace.

Afterwards, Taoist Master Zixian came. I don't know what Gao Yue said to him. The two murmured for a long time. When they left, Zixian shook his head and sighed, looking quite helpless.Gao Yue stood in front of the study window, looking at the back of Taoist Zixian, with a coldness in his eyes that others could not understand.

The window of the study was gently closed by Gao Yue. When he turned around, he yelled 'Dark Sun' towards the empty study.

……

When the lights were on that day, a young eunuch quietly came outside the wall of Chuxiu Palace. He threw a cloth bag in his hand into the partition wall, then turned and ran away.A moment later, there was a scream from Chuxiu Palace, and someone shouted: "There is a snake! There is a snake!! What a big snake!!"

A door was pulled open with a bang, and the salty hook rushed out like a whirlwind, and then Zhao Meiren and several other beauties also appeared at the door of their respective rooms, but the guardian did not dare to come out, but did not Leaving the door, everyone was looking around. After all, Xiangoujuanjuan rushed out. What is she going to do? Isn't she afraid of snakes?As neighbors, these beauties are naturally curious!

Behind Xian Hook Juan, two more women chased after him, one of them ran fast, caught up with Xian Hook Juan and grabbed her arm, shouting: "Don't go crazy! Impossible! "

"Second Sister, let go!" Xiangou curled up with tears in his eyes, struggling to break away from the grip of the Second Princess of Gaoshan Kingdom, "I have to see it with my own eyes to know!"

"I am with you!"

As the second princess said, she held Xiangoujuanjuan's wrist with her backhand, and dragged her to a corner surrounded by eunuchs holding long sticks.

The lights couldn't come in here, and everyone could only vaguely see a huge black shadow standing upright, making a 'hissing' sound.

When Xiangou Juanjuan heard this voice, tears flowed down his face, and he immediately stopped the eunuch: "Get out of the way, don't hurt it!"

The eunuchs were dumbfounded, and really didn't understand why Xiangou Rongyuan was protecting this beast at the moment, shouldn't they be more worried than this dangerous snake?Even if they hurt each other, they are also vulnerable groups in front of this snake, okay?

Fortunately, the second princess of the Gaoshan Kingdom was sober. Hearing Xiangoujuanjuan's inappropriate words, she quickly smoothed things over and said, "Get out of the way, don't be hurt by this beast!"

"It's not an animal—"

"Shut up!" The second princess turned her head and stared at Xiangou Jujuan, then bent down and removed a jasmine leaf. The air was rippling, and the rhythm of the song was clear. Every moment, everyone saw the black shadow swaying from side to side following the song, as if dancing to the music, moving out of the dark corner little by little.

At the place where the lights were shining, everyone gasped after seeing the true face of the black shadow—what a big snake! !

All the eunuchs retreated quickly, hiding as far as they could.

Only Xiangou Juanjuan desperately shook off the second princess's hand, and rushed towards the big snake, shouting: "Egg yolk!!"

"Stupid!" The second princess didn't care too much, and pulled the salty hook while speaking. The leaves fell from her lips, and the song was interrupted. Salty hook rolls are coming!

The second princess cursed in anger, and couldn't care about anything else. As her fingers flew, everyone saw a cold light being thrown out from her fingertips. It turned out to be a small needle like a vellus hair. After entering the big snake's body, the snake trembled twice in the air, and fell to the ground with a thud. Afterwards, it seemed to crawl towards the second princess, but when the second princess flipped it over with her finger, she actually controlled it to follow the snake. Fingers flipped, belly up on the ground.

The second princess immediately pointed her finger, and the snake waved in an S shape on the spot, but now it also remained motionless.

Xiangou Juanjuan stepped forward, glanced at the snake, and suddenly threw himself into the arms of the second princess, crying loudly, and said, "My egg yolk is really dead?! It was killed by the people of Dazhou!! They also took it Take its snake gall! Take its snake gall!!!”

"Shut up!" The second princess burst into tears, her face full of hatred.

However, at this moment, the gate of Chuxiu Palace was pushed open, and a group of people walked in with lanterns, surrounded by one person. When the people in the courtyard saw the person coming, they quickly knelt down and saluted. The beauty who had been watching the play at the door for a long time finally came out, greeted the visitor, and said: "Join Bi Yanjun."

Gao Yue said indifferently: "Get up." After finishing speaking, he looked at the two Gaoshan Kingdoms who were standing not far away, and said: "I heard that there are people in Chuxiu Palace who are murdering snakes. I think it's you? Come here , suppress it for me!"

"Wait," it was still the second princess who spoke, she took a step forward, put the salty hook roll behind her, and said: "Gao Biyan may have misunderstood, there is no one in Chuxiu Palace who kills snakes, only snakes want to kill , was subdued."

"Oh? Who will subdue it, and how will it be subdued?" Gao Yue asked unhurriedly.

"I conquered the snake." The second princess said.

"You?" Gao Yue raised her eyebrows, her face full of disbelief, and said, "How can you, a weak woman, subdue a big snake? Don't tell me that you know how to control snakes?"

The second princess thought of something, she wanted to admit it at first, but bit her tongue again, and remained silent without answering.

Gao Yue sneered, and said to the guards following him: "Put them into the prison, and search the palace!"

With this order, the guards immediately dispersed, but when the two guards walked up to Gao Shanguo and wanted to arrest them, the snake that was originally fixed on the ground suddenly rolled over and got up, opened wide mouth, and bit the guard——

At this moment, a leaf pierced through the air and pierced the snake's seven inches like lightning.

Seeing this, the second princess let out a 'hiss', gritted her teeth and endured the pain. Everyone saw that her two index fingers suddenly opened several small openings, and bright red blood rolled down drop by drop along those openings.

The snake was nailed to the ground by the leaves and was writhing wildly.

Everyone sighed and was shocked, but Gao Yue said to the stunned guard: "Suppression!"

At this time, a guard hurried over with a cloth bag, which was embroidered with the flag of Gaoshan Kingdom. The guard said: "There are snake scales in the bag, it should be something to hold a snake."

"You two, what else can I say?"

"You don't know right from wrong!" Xiangoujuan roared angrily, the grievance in his heart was about to explode.

Gao Yue remained expressionless, turned his head to ask the beauties beside him, and said, "Before I came, I heard someone crying loudly. May I ask who is crying and what are they crying for?"

Zhao Meiren said timidly, "Reporting to Bi Yanjun, it is Xiangou Rongyuan. She said that the egg yolk was dead and was killed by the people of Dazhou, and she also took the snake gall."

"Well," Gao Yue said, "have you forgotten what you just said? As far as I know, after you entered the palace, there was only one snake in the palace that killed and took the gall, and that was the one that attempted to attack the snake. Me and His Majesty's green python, that snake is yours!"

"It's not hers." The second princess tried to argue.

But Xiangou Juanjuan was already crying out of breath, biting her lip, shaking her head, trying to say something but unable to speak.

At this moment, Gao Yue was like a stern and selfless Duke Bao, as if he couldn't see those tears at all, and said: "The witnesses and evidence are gathered together, and they will be sent to the prison for torture."

The Great Zhou Heavenly Prison.

In the torture room, it has been a long time since the woman's cries were heard. I don't know, I thought the woman was receiving some kind of cruel punishment, but the actual situation is——

Gao Yue sat in the presiding judge's seat, and a crying woman was tied to the chair beside her. This woman was Xiangoujuanjuan.There is a criminal case opposite the two of them. At the moment, the second princess is tied up on the cutting board and lying upright. A funnel is hanging above her face. Water is dripping slowly from the funnel. It hit her directly between the eyebrows!
