Battle of the Queen

"My lord... My lord..."

Whose voice is it?Who are you calling again?

In a trance, Huangyi felt that someone was repeating this address in her ear over and over again, she wanted to tell her not to call again, there was no "lord" here, she moved her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound, Wanting to move her fingers, but feeling powerless all over, Xuan Yi panicked, what's wrong with her?Feeling as if her body was out of control, Jingyi gritted her teeth, trying to break through this situation, finally, with a "pop", like a broken sound, Jingyi opened her eyes, and a ray of light entered into her slightly opened eyes. Eyelids, Huang Yi closed his eyes again, feeling able to adapt, and then slowly opened them fully.

Seeing her wake up, the female officer standing next to her bowed and bowed, "My lord, are you going to get up?"

Huang Yi felt it for a while, feeling some strength in her body, she nodded slightly, and several female officers immediately bent over and stepped forward to help her get up.

Huang Yi let them help her dress, brought water to wipe her face herself, she would never be able to bear it before, but now she sees that these girls are proficient, she thinks she is used to it often, if she refuses now, she will Instead of arousing suspicion, let nature take its course.

The quilt was covered with two layers of clothing, a slim gauze skirt inside, and a robe outside, the skirt was still very long, maybe this is the case for clothes in this era, the material of the clothes is soft and smooth, very comfortable to wear, Ming Yi reservedly said After stretching her waist, she was helped to sit down in front of the dressing table.

The dressing table is facing the window, and the wooden window is propped up. You can see the rockery trees and pavilions in the distance. Right below is a green lake. It turns out that this is a tall building built near the water. At this time, it should be In summer, the lotus in the lake is in full bloom. It is estimated that it is already noon. The sun outside is just right, and the wind blows over, carrying a slightly drunken fragrance of lotus.

Four or five maids surrounded her all of a sudden, as if they were going to do her hair and make-up, Ming Yi pointed to a girl who looked honest and honest, and said to the others: "It's fine for her to serve here, you all step back. "

Several maids saluted and said yes, bent down and retreated silently, leaving only the girl she designated.

The girl carefully combed Mingyi's waist-hanging long hair, and said: "My lord's dragon body hasn't healed yet, so I've already got rid of it in the early court. Let me do a homely bun for my lord."

Ming Yi nodded, and the maid immediately got busy on her head, her movements were very skillful, but the bronze mirror was blurry, so she couldn't see clearly how she was dressed.

Morning court or something, it seems that his status as emperor is inseparable, Mingyi pretended to be casual and said: "Hasn't morning court for a few days?"

The servant girl replied respectfully: "Since my lord was injured, it has been six days since I went to court early."

"Oh——" Ming Yi dragged out his voice, "Is there nothing wrong with court?"

The maid said again: "My lord, there is no need to worry. There is a grand master in charge of the court, and all affairs are well organized. The courtiers are amazed, and the people praise. My lord just needs to take care of it with peace of mind."

Mingyi thought for a while, it seemed that this grand master was very capable, she suddenly had the urge to meet her, so she asked again: "Where is the grand master now?"

The maid put a golden step on her head and said with a smile: "The grand master brought people to the White Horse Temple to pray for you a day ago, and he came to say goodbye to the lord before he left! It's just that the lord is not awake yet."

Ming Yi laughed dryly, thinking that I was still sleeping on my own bed the day before. How could I know that the maid didn't know what Ming Yi was thinking, maybe it was because she felt that Ming Yi had a gentle attitude and would not lose his temper, so she continued: " Speaking of which, Grand Master is really concerned about the country and the people, the lord has not woken up for many days, besides saying goodbye day and night, she also went to pray for the lord, what a good minister of the court!"

Mingyi said: "So I (note) really don't know that I've been in a coma for so many days, and I'm still a little confused when I wake up, and my memory is also hazy. In this way, you know, I am How did you get hurt?"

The maidservant said softly: "The lord is sleepy. Before the lord and the ministers rode horses, they never thought that the horse would be frightened and go berserk. The lord didn't notice, and was thrown off by the horse, hurting his head, and fell unconscious. It was a mess, luckily the Grand Master was outside to appease the courtiers, and inside to comfort a group of people, so that he could take care of the lord, and he went to the White Horse Temple non-stop!"

Ming Yi smiled and said: "In this way, the Grand Master's contribution is indispensable."

The maid said: "That's not true! The Grand Master is not only talented, but also beautiful. Most of the maids in the palace fall in love with her. I heard that even the folk women outside the palace call for her not to marry!"

A typical flirtatious talented girl~ Mingyi saw her cheeks flushed when she mentioned the grand master, revealing a little girl's coquettish attitude, and joked: "Then you also fall in love with him? Or, wait for him to come back , I will give you an order to betroth you to him?"

Unexpectedly, the servant girl knelt down all of a sudden, and said in a surprised voice: "This servant girl knows that her status is low, so she is not worthy of being a grand master, and I hope that the master will not do this. The servant girl only wishes to serve the master for the rest of her life!"

What's wrong with this?Mingyi had a headache, this silly girl couldn't even hear a joke, she wanted to help her up, but thought of her current status, so she gave her a little help, and said softly, "Hurry up, I'm just like that Just say it, don’t take it seriously.”

The servant girl heard the words, said "Thank you, my lord", got up, Mingyi waved her hand, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Slave Tsing Yi."

"Oh! Can you sing?"

Tsing Yi was puzzled, "This servant doesn't know how to sing, does the lord want to listen to an opera? This servant will send some troupes in."

Ming Yi hurriedly stopped her: "No need, just talk." She hurriedly brought the topic back: "Give me some makeup."

Tsing Yi smeared Ming Yi's face deftly, and it smelled delicious. Ming Yi closed her eyes and let her move, and suddenly thought of Jia Baoyu's behavior of eating rouge in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Could this rouge really be so delicious? She looked at it The bottles and cans in front of him, taking advantage of Tsing Yi's inattention, quietly dipped some red rouge in the small box with his fingers and put it to his mouth, licked it with his tongue, and spit it out, what smell is this!It smells delicious but tastes bitter. I really don't know how Jia Baoyu can eat it. Could it be that the recipe is different?Ming Yi was extremely puzzled.

Tsing Yi saw her pooing a few times, thought she had eaten her hair, and hurriedly brought water to rinse her mouth, Ming Yi waved her hand after rinsing her mouth to signal her to continue, Tsing Yi then continued to clean her face, and finally it was done, Tsing Yi handed her a small bronze mirror, and said in a flattering tone: "My lord is beautiful and beautiful, with an alluring appearance, the slaves and maids will put some powder on my lord, my lord, please take a look..."

Ming Yi took it over and took a look, it was indeed much clearer than the mirror on the table, her nose and eyes could probably be seen, but no matter how she looked at it, it was a bit distorted and distorted.She returned the mirror to Tsing Yi, stood up and asked Tsing Yi to adjust her skirt, a maid opened the beaded curtain and walked over, bowed her knees and said respectfully: "Lunch is ready, please move to the outer hall to eat, my lord."

Ming Yi nodded, and walked outside, Tsing Yi was behind her holding up the hem of the skirt that dragged the floor, while two maidservants opened the curtain for her,

Ming Yi paused for a moment, and asked, "You two look a bit unfamiliar, what's your name?"

The two maids bowed their heads and answered respectfully, one was called Ziyi and the other was called Lvyi. Mingyi secretly remembered their appearance, nodded and walked to the dining room, passed through the Moon Gate, which was the spacious front hall, and walked a few more times. Mi, opened the bead curtain, and the maids took Mingyi to a place similar to a balcony with railings on three sides. Several large pillars supported the roof beams, a bit like a pavilion, and there were still rolled up gauze curtains around it. While moving, you can see the distant scenery, which is very cool and artistic.

There was a large round table in the middle with four low stools, and the table was filled with a variety of dishes. Four maids were waiting aside with towels and cups in their hands. When they saw Ming Yi coming, they bowed their knees one by one and offered the things they held in their hands. superior.

Mingyi felt baffled, seeing the cup filled with water they handed over, took a sip, and then handed over an empty cup, Mingyi realized that this was the water for rinsing her mouth, almost I swallowed it.

She recalled the plots in "Dream of Red Mansions" she had read. When sister Lin entered Jia's mansion, it happened like this too!So he blocked it with his hand and spit out the water in his mouth into the empty cup, controlling it so as not to make too much noise during the process.

Then another maid brought clean water in a silver basin, Ming Yi cleaned her hands in a formal manner, took the towel and wiped it twice.

After finishing this series of things, Ziyi took out the ivory bamboo bone chopsticks wrapped in silk on the table, handed them to Mingyi, and said in a low voice, "My lord, please have a meal."

Ming Yi nodded and took the chopsticks, picked up a plate of steamed catfish (note) closest to her, tasted it, it was fresh and tender, very delicious, and then tried several other dishes, all of them were very delicious, looking at the table For the dishes, Ming Yi thinks they are more southern style, but some of them feel a little northern style, Ming Yi can't see anything at the moment, and can only concentrate on eating.

A few maids stood by the side all the time, it was always uncomfortable to be stared at by others, Ming Yi sent the others out, leaving only Tsing Yi to wait by her side.

After all, there were still people staring at her. Ming Yi ate a few dishes and then stopped moving. The dishes on a large table had not been moved for a long time. Tsing Yi brought tea, and Ming Yi looked at the lotus pond below, leaning on the railing to digest , the maidservants brought out the leftover dishes one by one, Mingyi suddenly grabbed Tsing Yi and asked, "Where are they going to take these dishes?"

Tsing Yi froze for a moment, as if she didn't know why she would ask such a question, and replied: "Of course it's poured..."

Ming Yi pointed to a dish, "That can be fed to fish, don't pour it down!"

Tsing Yi looked puzzled, "It's not impossible for my lord to feed the fish, but the palace has special food for feeding the fish. If it is changed, the fish in the lake may not be used to it for a while..."

Mingyi had the experience of having no money to eat in her previous life, and she thought that every piece of food on the plate was hard work, so she said to Tsing Yi: "But, some of them haven't been eaten yet, so don't throw them away, even if you don't feed the fish It can be given to those ordinary people who can’t eat, and I’d be really guilty if I dumped it all!”

Tsing Yi chuckled, "My lord, I'm too worried. My lord stays in this deep palace compound, how can I know the lives of the people outside! Now that our Xiliang women's country is rich and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there are no ordinary people who can't afford to eat."

Mingyi nodded, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, she said in shock: "What did you say?! Say it again, what are we?!"

Tsing Yi was taken aback by her stern voice, and replied: "We, our Xiliang women's kingdom..."

Mingyi's heart skipped a beat, the secret is not good, the Xiliang women's country, the Chinese all know, isn't this the place name that appeared in "Journey to the West"!She grabbed Tsing Yi's hand and asked uncertainly: "This is really Xiliang Women's Kingdom?! Here, are all women?!"

The man in Tsing Yi looked at Ming Yi with strange eyes, and nodded.

Ming Yi asked again: "No man?!"

Qing Yi twisted her face and nodded again.

"Wait!" Mingyi suddenly thought of something, "Didn't you say that many women fell in love with the grand master, isn't the grand master just a man?"

On the one hand, Tsing Yi was terrified by the lord's sharp eyes, but on the other hand, he felt that the lord was getting more and more strange, so he could only say in a low voice: "My lord, grand master, grand master, she is a woman...why... .”

Why did you forget all this...

……… As expected, Ming Yi sat blankly in her seat, and she really came to the Xiliang women’s country that appeared in "Journey to the West". It seemed that she even dressed as a queen...

The author has something to say: Note: Baidu Encyclopedia said that the daughter country scenic spot is in today's Hubei, so I chose a Hubei dish, Khan==.

Note: In the original book of "Journey to the West", the queen claimed to be a widow, and sometimes she called herself me. I thought it was not good for a woman to call herself a widow, so I changed it. I don't need to call myself, just call myself me.
