Wearing a pheromone to become a fool

She settled down, looked more carefully, and found that they were all royal relatives who had attended the Wanshou Banquet.

The queen mother really wants to be serious.

Her heart was in turmoil, and she went to rescue Qu Jinyao out of the fire pit, dragged him to the side of the street, and warned him: "When you enter the palace in a while, don't show your weakness with trepidation."

"But an internal official registered my departure that night." Qu Jinyao's legs were still trembling.

The night banquet was full of hustle and bustle, everyone pushed glasses and changed glasses, singing and dancing were indistinct.There are not a few officials and family members who left the meeting because they were sleepy, tired, or drunk.

According to the rules, after leaving the banquet, the female relatives can rest in the east side hall, while the men can rest in the west side hall.

Qu Jinying: "Then you left the Xibei Palace, and the internal officials registered it?"

"Of course not. I have a private meeting with the palace maid. How dare people know about it."

He finally got the hang of it: "You made me insist that I didn't go anywhere!"

"Well, remember to find a chance to communicate with that maid."

The crowded carriages and horses slowly cleared, the wheels creaked and turned forward, Qu Ao opened the curtains and urged them to get on the carriage.

Entering the palace from Xifeng Gate, men and women are still different, the men are taken to the Palace of Preserving Harmony, while the female relatives are led by the female officials into the Palace of Compassion.

As soon as the front foot crossed the threshold, the back foot heard the muffled sound of the stick hitting the flesh heavily, accompanied by screams, interspersed from time to time: "The empress dowager is so kind!"

We are all noble daughters of aristocratic families pampered in deep boudoirs, but they shrank into a ball like a little quail when they received such a scene.

The female officer who led the way was not surprised, she was so calm that she was almost cold, and asked them to move on, and don't let the queen mother wait too long.

Qu Jinying's mother used to exchange handkerchiefs with the Empress Dowager. When she was young, she often accompanied her mother into the palace, and she recognized that the person lying on the bench and being clubbed was Yi Dongpo, the chief eunuch.

This person's temples were already graying, dry and thin, and his back was already stained with blood.

She clasped her hands in front of her body, with a burst of cold sweat in her palms, and saluted and squatted with a seemingly noble and dignified appearance.

Sitting on the red sandalwood lacquered throne, the Empress Dowager took a sip of the tea from Sister Lan.

She is more than half a hundred years old, with a decent and calm posture, her radiant and beautiful face is full of softness, but her eyes are soft and sharp.

It can be seen that he was a ruthless character in the harem in his early years.If people don't attack me, I will not attack others. If people attack me, I will attack them. An excellent representative.

In a word, the last Gongdou champion.

In front of such a legend, Qu Jinying became more and more apprehensive, her heart beating like a drum.

She raised her eyes slightly, and found that there was a person standing behind Nanny Lan, holding a thick booklet in her hand, carefully flipping through the pages.The gilt silver-carved hairpin, the meticulous hairdo, the gala-colored undercoat and long skirt, this simple and natural attire is quite different from other female officials.

Qu Jinying had a little impression of her—Gongzhenglou Qianqiu.

She is about the same age as the Queen Mother, her appearance is not outstanding, but she is uniquely serious and upright.

Another difficult one to deal with.

Qu Jinying thought so.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, all the female relatives at the Longevity Banquet are here." Lou Qianqiu presented the roster, "Please take a look."

The queen mother trusted her, and pushed back the roster without even looking at it.

Lou Qianqiu understood, said a few words to the female officials beside him, then stepped forward and said to a group of female relatives: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, today I just invite you to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to ask questions as usual, I will trouble you in the hall Wait outside, if your name is called, please come into the hall."

After speaking, he opened the book again and called out the first name.

The woman who was called came out and answered her question in panic.

Who did you come with at the banquet?When will you leave?Where did you go?What did you do?When are you coming back?When will you leave the palace?

If there is any hesitation, ask a few more questions, and if you stutter, you will be loudly reprimanded, and you must force people to tell the reason.

Yi Dongpo, who was still lying on the bench, was dying, and the eunuch who executed the stick dragged him to the ground, and replaced him on the tiger bench—all young eunuchs from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

They are young and strong, compared with Yi Dongpo in screaming, they are full of energy, and they have more tricks to beg for mercy.

The picture was so brutal and bloody that the timid female relatives were frightened to tears.

Lou Qianqiu came out to comfort him and said: "Ladies, don't be afraid, just tell the truth. If there is nothing suspicious, wait for the Queen Mother to send you back immediately."

She turned over a page of the booklet in her hand, took a step forward, came to Qu Jinying, led her into the hall, and asked in front of the queen mother, "Master Qinghui, where did you leave the banquet at three o'clock the night before?" ?”

Qu Jinying straightened her spine, and nodded slowly: "I'm a little drunk after drinking, go to the East Side Hall to rest."

"How long have you been there?"

"An hour."

"so long?"

"How many close friends in the boudoir that I haven't seen for a long time in the East Side Hall, sitting together for a while to have tea?"

"Which ones?" Lou Gong was staring into her eyes.

"The eldest daughter of the right servant of Hubu, the granddaughter of Zhongshu's servant, and the niece of Wucheng Bingmasi."

It was almost noon, the steamer was spitting out high, and the white sun was baking people's eyelids were hot, she couldn't help but rubbed her eyes and said their names again.

Lou Qianqiu called them out, and asked after confirming, "You've been staying in the East Side Hall all this time? Have you been to other places?"

"At the end of tea, I went to Linyuan Pavilion alone to get some fresh air."

"How long did it take?"

"Two sticks of incense, I only took a nap for a while."

"Who can testify?"

The three close friends in the boudoir are very righteous, saying that what she said is true.

After Lou Qianqiu's questioning, he looked her up and down, with something meaningful in his eyes, which made her tremble all over.

The queen mother was very satisfied, and smiled and called her boudoir name: "Ying'er, come to Ai's house quickly."

There was a cute smile on the corner of her mouth, and she walked forward.

"You've returned to Beijing. I haven't seen you for three years. Let Ai's family take a good look at you. You've become more and more generous. It's great."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."

The queen mother took her hand and clapped her palms together: "You forgot again, you have to call aunt, Aijia promised your mother to take good care of you."

Mentioning that her mother Qu Jinying's beautiful peach blossom eyes dimmed for a moment, she said sadly: "Before I knew it, my mother passed away for three years."

The Empress Dowager burst into tears, and said earnestly and earnestly like an elder: "There are all kinds of sorrows in the world, nothing like life and death. Aijia shouldn't mention your sad things. Come and sit beside Aijia."

"Ying'er dare not."

The Empress Dowager blamed her for being unfamiliar, and felt distressed when she thought about it. After her mother passed away, she went back to her hometown in Ningzhou Prefecture to observe her filial piety. After three years of not seeing each other, she was no longer closer than before.

Forgively said: "It's hard for you too."

Seeing her relaxed expression, Qu Jinying breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the embroidered pier brought by Nanny Lan.

Outside the hall, Lou Qianqiu divided the female relatives into two teams, led by the female officer, and entered the left and right side rooms.

"What is this?" Qu Jinying asked curiously.

"Going back to the county lord, Wan Sui bit the assassin's neck in a panic that night, and now take them to check for any bites.

bite?

Shameless, it was obvious that she was frivolous and thin to bite her.

Qu Jinying nodded pretending to be okay.

Lou Qianqiu turned back and asked: "Queen Mother, do you want to take the county master with you?"

"Ying'er was raised by the Ai family, so she won't be an assassin." The queen mother said sternly.

Lou Qiu knelt down and said, "Forgive me, Queen Mother."

"Auntie, Lou Gong is worried about Wansui's safety, which is understandable," Qu Jinying interjected, "This is also a major issue concerning the country, and Ying'er should go."

The queen mother looked at Lou Gongzheng unhappily: "Are you satisfied?"

Seeing Qu Jinying's attitude, Lou Gongzheng immediately changed his words: "The county lord has golden branches and jade leaves, and this slave has offended."

She bowed and said goodbye.

Qu Jinying silently breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly someone outside sang "The emperor is here", and the half-relaxed breath was instantly held back.

Kneeling in and out of the hall, there was a huge cloud.

The one who reacted most violently was Yi Dongpo. He hanged half his life and grabbed the corner of the dragon robe like a life-saving straw: "Long live, save the servant."

"I'm here to save you." Wei Yansi leaned over to wipe away his tears, and whispered.

These words were warm and caring, Yi Dongpo's pale old lips trembled, and he choked up and said: "The emperor's grace is so great!"

The next moment, Wei Yansi raised his foot and kicked him.

He rolled three times in tandem, tilted his head, and passed out. Fearing that the unconsciousness would not be realistic enough, he stuck out half of his tongue.

Wei Yansi: "..."

She is still sick, the fever period has not yet passed, and the mark on beta can only last for one day, and it has long since expired.

Although there are empresses and maids in the palace, any one can be marked, but it is strange that an emperor always bites people, it is unnecessary trouble, so he finds a strict-mouthed skinny horse from outside the palace.

I planned to keep him quietly in the deep palace, and take a bite every day during the febrile period.

However, Yi Dongpo would have misunderstood her intentions, opening his mouth and shutting his mouth, "I understand, home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers~"

So he asked someone to carefully select a thin horse from Yangzhou, and praised him for being beautiful, sweet-mouthed, and good at work.

As a result... such a big thing happened.

She entered the hall to salute the Queen Mother, first knelt on the left knee, then the right knee, and was about to get up in one fell swoop.There is also particularity in getting up. If you can’t support the ground with your hands, you should lift your right leg first, then your left leg.

She practiced for many days for a small gift.

The queen mother couldn't bear her to kneel, supported her, and called her good emperor.

The mother and son exchanged pleasantries for a while, the queen mother took Qu Jinying's hand and said, "Does the emperor still remember Ying'er, when I was a child, I often went to the palace to play with you."
