Adore Trick of Beauty

Xia Lan simply doubted how long it would take for the two of them, master and servant, to stand out, and now the hope of even meeting the emperor was very slim. Xia Lan's words came true in the evening. Just after dinner, Xiuju brought several palace ladies to Nie Wushuang's house. A group of people rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found Nie Wushuang's things.

I'm sorry, Nie Cainu, our mother-in-law said she lost a bracelet at some point, so she asked the slaves to look around for it. Xiu Jupi said with a smile.

Nie Wushuang sat on a chair nearby, watching her small room being turned over everywhere, and smiled faintly: It doesn't matter, if Wanmei really loses her bracelet, she really has to look for it. She touched herself. The mutton-fat jade bracelet on her wrist sighed.

What a pity, this bracelet is engraved with my name. Otherwise, it might be the one Wanmei lost. Her insinuation made Xiuju's face turn red. She quickly smiled and said, No, Nie Cainu is too worried.

The room was small, and it was quickly turned over. Several palace maids were holding Nie Wushuang's torn shark gauze skirt and some gold and silver jewelry. Xiuju stared at the valuable skirt with regret. , and then glanced at some exquisite rouge gouache collected by Nie Wushuang.

Nie Wushuang followed her gaze and simply stepped forward to take all the Huichunfang rouge that Eunuch Deshun sent today: Miss Xiuju, you are here just in time. My brother bought this for me outside the palace. I haven’t used some of the gadgets from the company. You can take a few boxes and use them. I heard that the ladies of the high-ranking officials in the capital all use the rouge made by this company. Look, the quality seems to be better than that of the palace. The one I got is pretty good, and there are many colors... She picked a little and tried it on the back of her hand while praising.

Xiuju was filled with joy when she saw it, so she took it and left without refusing.

After a group of them left, the smile on Nie Wushuang's face slowly cooled down. Xia Lan complained while cleaning up: Why did Cai Nu give her the rouge? My slave has long said that this rouge should be well hidden...

Nie Wushuang seemed to be smiling but not smiling: She took these rouges as a tribute to Wanmei. There will be a good show in a few days. Xia Lan was confused after hearing this. She didn't know what to ask, so she just stopped talking and concentrated. tidy.

Early the next morning, Nie Wushuang and Xia Lan were collecting dew in the Shanglinyuan Garden. When she was too tired to straighten up, she would occasionally look at that place. It has been three days since she met the emperor in the pavilion that day. In these three days, she has not been to Feng again.

What are you looking at, Cai Nu? Xia Lan asked curiously.

Nie Wushuang smiled: It's nothing, let's go. I just have time to go back and have a meal, and then pay my respects to the Queen.

The two masters and servants left Shanglin Garden one after another, and saw a group of guards passing by from a distance. The man in front was tall and slender. Nie Wushuang was so excited that he almost without thinking stepped forward and shouted in surprise: Brother!

Nie Minghu was overjoyed to see it was her, and took a step forward: How did you get here? He looked at the basket in her hand: This is it?

Nie Wushuang hurriedly concealed his smile and said: I heard that the scenery in Shanglin Garden is very beautiful in the early morning, so I wanted to come with Xia Lan to have a look, and collect some flower dew to make tea.

Nie Minghu didn't doubt that he was there, and smiled and scratched her nose: You are always so weird. Go back quickly, I still have to be on duty.

Nie Wushuang still had a lot of things to say to him, but looking at the group of guards behind him, he knew that this was not the time to talk, so he could only say goodbye reluctantly.

Not far away, a chamberlain looked at him silently, and then quietly turned back.

In the imperial study room, incense smoke lingered in the copper beast Suan Ni cauldron, and a calming aroma quietly filled the spacious hall. Xiao Fengming was reviewing the memorial, and Eunuch Lin stood quietly aside to wait on him. After a long time, Xiao Fengming threw away the memorial in his hand and rubbed his swollen forehead.

Eunuch Lin served the hot tea at the right time, stepped forward and asked cautiously: Your Majesty, would you like to go out for a walk? After all, sitting for a long time is not good for the dragon's body.

Xiao Fengming shook his head: No need. Just rest for a while. The border area has not been peaceful recently. The Qin State is ready to make a move. The envoys who harassed the Qi State several times have already crossed the river. Alas... they want to get married!

Eunuch Lin smiled slightly: I heard that the seventh princess of Qi State is both talented and beautiful. She is a rare beauty.

Xiao Fengming shook his head: What can a beauty do? But this time the envoy is the Prime Minister Gu Qinghong. Interest flashed in his eyes: I heard that he was talented and famous at a young age. He became the emperor of Qi within three years after being the top scholar in high school. A re-used Prime Minister.

Eunuch Lin considered the words: It is indeed a talent, but...

But what? Xiao Fengming asked: Is his bad character just because he was Nie Cainu's husband?

Eunuch Lin hurriedly knelt down and said, I don't dare to speak arbitrarily. I deserve to die!

Xiao Fengming smiled slightly. He looked at the coiled dragon painted with gold powder on the dragon pillar of the main hall, and said calmly: I am just a little curious. I am curious why he went out of his way three years later and in turn wanted to fill the Nie family. Maybe there is only one explanation. He The previous generation had a blood feud with Nie Weicheng. But the blood feud is just that, it involves an innocent woman, and the resentment in Gu Qinghong's heart is really extraordinary.

Eunuch Lin wiped his cold sweat: Your Majesty, Your Majesty! He thought for a while and then reported: Your Majesty, I sent someone to check. Nie Cainu is indeed waiting to meet with Guard Nie in Shanglin Garden. The two brothers and sisters said After a word or two, they each left without a chance to say more.

Oh? Xiao Fengming raised his eyebrows slightly: So, she did go to Shanglin Garden to see her brother that day?

According to my maid's opinion, Nie Cainu is not happy in the palace.

, she was forced by the Wanmei people to collect flower dew in Shanglin Garden every day before dawn, and when she returned to Yuanxiu Palace, she had to do sweeping work... Eunuch Lin spoke softer and quieter, he had already seen Xiao Fengming's face. His brows furrowed deeply, and he had never seen such an unhappy look on the young emperor's face in the more than ten years he had been serving him.

So, she hasn't been here these days just because Wanmei made it difficult for her to work? Xiao Fengming asked coldly.

Yes... Eunuch Lin reminded in a low voice: The emperor didn't let her tell her, so Wanmei probably didn't know that she was coming to see the emperor.

Stay back. Xiao Fengming suddenly ordered in a cold voice: Continue to watch for me what Wan Mei people ask Nie Cainu to do every day.

Yes! Eunuch Lin's heart skipped a beat and he retreated.

Yang Zhi stood outside the palace and watched Eunuch Lin retreat. He quickly stepped forward and asked, Does the Emperor still need cinnabar?

Eunuch Lin shook his head: No need, but the emperor will be in a bad mood right now, so don't go in and disturb him.

Yang Zhi nodded and waited quietly. Eunuch Lin took a few steps and suddenly looked back at him, frowning: I heard that Eunuch Yang and Guard Nie are very close?

Eunuch Lin was a person close to the emperor. He rarely made unintended predictions, and rarely got any useful information from him. So when he heard his question, Yang Zhi was slightly surprised and quickly answered: Yes, Guard Nie once entrusted the slave Go and bring some food to Nie Cainu.

In the palace, it is forbidden for concubines to exchange news with foreign ministers, but in situations like this where brothers and sisters are in the palace together, the rules will be tolerated during the cleaning process. This has long been a tacit understanding among everyone. Yang Zhi looked at Eunuch Lin slightly uneasily and lowered his head: Mr. Lin, this servant is wrong. Please punish me.

Eunuch Lin sighed slightly: It's not that you are wrong, but don't let people see you coming and going to the concubine too often. By the way, does Guard Nie know that Nie Cainu is being made difficult by Wan Mei in the palace?

Yang Zhi shook his head: No, she heard that Guard Nie would pass by Shanglinyuan that time, and she dressed up specially to see Guard Nie in order not to let Guard Nie know about it. So...

Okay, our family understands. Eunuch Lin interrupted him and walked away satisfied as if he had gotten the answer he wanted. Yang Zhi watched him go, then showed a faint smile on his face, and stood guard by the palace door again.

The good show Nie Wushuang mentioned came in the early morning of a few days. It was dark that day, and Nie Wushuang was sleeping well when he suddenly heard someone screaming in the middle hall, followed by a loud crash. She wanted to get up and check, but she was too tired, so she turned over and fell asleep again.

Not long after, suddenly the door was slammed violently, and a sharp, hysterical cry woke Nie Wushuang: Nie Wushuang, get up! You poisoned me! How dare you poison me!

There was a loud bang on the door, and Nie Wushuang was awakened. Before he could catch his breath while stroking his heart, the door was smashed open. Wan Meiren seemed to be crazy. She rushed in with her hair disheveled and uncombed. She grabbed Nie. Wushuang's neck, his eyes were as red as blood: Nie Wushuang! How dare you poison me!

Nie Wushuang was caught off guard and was choked by her until she couldn't breathe. Xia Lan, who had woken up, was shocked when she saw this and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand away: Wanmei is crazy, how could my daughter-in-law...

Before she finished speaking, when she saw Wanmei's face, she suddenly screamed: Ghost!——
